Silence In The Dark

In 2024, Salgado Studios produced Silence in the Dark, a short slasher film that delves into themes of survival and resilience. The narrative follows a mute woman who, after witnessing a brutal crime, becomes the target of a relentless killer, leading to a tense and suspenseful fight for her life.

Directed and written by Steven Salgado, the film showcases a minimalist approach to filmmaking, with the entire production shot on an iPhone. This choice not only highlights the team’s resourcefulness but also adds an intimate and raw aesthetic to the storytelling.

The film features a standout performance by Tamara Melián, who portrays the lead character, bringing depth and authenticity to the role. Carlos Bueno also delivers a compelling performance, contributing to the film’s gripping atmosphere.

Silence in the Dark premiered at FilmGate Miami’s monthly film festival in January 2025, where it received acclaim for its intense narrative and innovative production. The film has since been featured on South Florida PBS as part of their Film-Maker series, further solidifying its impact and reach within the independent film community.

This project exemplifies Salgado Studios’ commitment to pushing creative boundaries and producing high-quality content that resonates with audiences.
