Cinema has gotta make you think....On this episode we're diving into a thick cut of indie cinema that is in theatres now and coming imminently to VOD platforms everywhere. It's time for 'Silent River'.Elliot is desperate to reconcile with his estranged wife, Julie. Determined, he drives across a barren desert road to reach her, hoping he can convince her to give him a second chance.Stopping at a roadside motel, he reaches out to a surprised Julie, who informs him she has moved on. At a loss for his next move, Elliot falls into a downward spiral and, when he encounters the sultry Greta —an uncanny woman on the run from a mysterious past—strange and mysterious occurrences begin to haunt him. As the shadowy line between reality and dark fantasy becomes increasingly blurred, Elliot questions his own sanity and seeks the truth ... But will he regret finding the answer?It's a thrilling little piece of cinema that certainly gets the thought process rolling and we had the pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Chris Chan Lee to talk about the origin of the story, creating style and mood on a budget and so very much more.
