"I Am Here" 2022
People commonly mistake the term nice for kind, but there's a difference. Niceness can be feigned, indifferent, manipulative, and self-serving. Kindness serves us all. It calls for gentle concern and isn't done with the expectation of praise or reward.
Kindness costs but draws upon a currency we all have in abundance.

Silent Generation is a horror short film that explores the dark side of aging and isolation. An elderly man faces a terrifying turn of events while performing a mundane chore - laundry. As he navigates the challenges of getting older, a seemingly ordinary task takes a sinister turn, revealing a hidden horror within the confines of his own home.
The film delves into the unsettling experiences of the elderly, focusing on themes of loneliness, vulnerability, and the fear of the unknown. The suspenseful narrative and eerie atmosphere create a disturbing yet thought-provoking experience for viewers. Silent Generation offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by the older generation.
