Miriam Ganz is an actor, singer, choreographer, director and a teaching artist with a lot of shows to her credit.
Anup S Bhandari is from Mysore and has directed short films, music videos and ad films and a couple of his short films have won awards at the corporate level. Currently planning to shoot a full length feature film in KANNADA.
I loved this film. Unfortunately I don't think many people understand why Russell's character rebuffs Miriam's. I believe she wanted to "be his voice in the silence" which is pretty rude and assuming for a hearing person to say to a deaf person. Russell had a voice, even if it was by using his hands, and didn't need her to communicate for him. Beautifully shot and well acted. Love Russell's crooked smile.
