AWKWARD SILENCE

Awkward Silence is a short film that hopes to tell an unconventional love story about the tests couples must take, in order to see if their relationship is worth fighting for. The couple in this story will not only face cultural differences, but a language barrier that becomes an obstacle in expressing their love for each other.

This film is currently in the film festival circuit and has
recently won an Honorable Mention in the Best Feature category.
