Project Description

Her first sound is the next film project by me!, Rhys Votano, which explores sound and silence and the opposing worlds.

The film follows Ollie, played by Sunrise presenter James Tobin ( http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2010/08/02/1225900/224244-james-tobin.jpg ) as he ventures across Sydney to find the perfect sound to give to his darling deaf girlfriend who is in waiting to get a Cochlear implant, Aimee , played by Bethany Robinson, star of Quiet Signs of Love ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT9CSuelX-E ) 

I like to write about perspectives and alternative realities. My previous documentary "The pretty simple world of an Angelman" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp3PgG965PU was about my brother who was born with a syndrome that impairs his communication and understanding of our world. It won a few awards around Sydney and since then I have shot a few music videos and conceptual pieces.

With the money raised, I would like to be able secure the better quality paid actors. It will allow me to spend more time work shopping and rehearsing with them. I have the essential equipment to shoot and edit this film however I would love to afford hiring some additional tools like crane's and dolly's. The crew are happy to be working for peanuts.

I am very determined that this film will be amazing and shine light into the world of deaf people. My only concern in this whole process is how out of pocket I will be afterwards. It wont bother me so long as the film is brilliant. But having a brilliant film and NOT being poor afterwards would be just gosh darn tootin' perfect.
