SURVIVAL HAS NO VOICE

THE STORY

After witnessing a brutal crime, a woman who cannot speak becomes the target of a ruthless killer. With no voice to call for help, she must rely on instinct and resilience to survive a terrifying pursuit through the night.

BEHIND THE LENS

Written and directed by Steven Salgado and shot entirely on an iPhone, Silence in the Dark embraces the limitations of independent filmmaking as part of its visual language. The film demonstrates a principle central to Salgado Studios: the strength of a story begins with vision, not equipment.
