Projects

LOGLINE: An aging sound artist and his estranged daughter set off across the United States for his latest (and perhaps last) project. As they journey through vast landscapes, small towns, and political unrest, the silence between them grows louder, until they have no choice but to listen.

A ROAD MOVIE BY PAUL FLORIAN MÜLLER

SYNOPSIS:

Clatter & Hum follows Alice, a 40-something classical voice teacher living in New York City, and her estranged father Erik, a reclusive, avant-garde sound artist from Austria. After years of silence, he asks her to drive him cross-country to record sounds for his new composition, which is tied to a prestigious commission in Los Angeles. For Alice, the trip is about connecting with the father she never knew. For Erik, it's a last chance to complete his body of work before his hearing loss becomes permanent.

Their journey spans a rich soundscape of America—from wild beaches to borderlands, bustling casinos to quiet deserts—where Erik’s field recordings unravel both the noise of modern life and his complex inner world. Along the way, tensions flare and old wounds resurface, but unexpected moments of beauty and silence lead to revelations. As Erik’s hearing fades, Alice discovers her voice.

A film about friendship and dreams

LOGLINE: In 2000, eleven aspiring actors emerged from a renowned acting school, poised to follow in the footsteps of famous alumni like Jada Pinkett and Tupac. 20 years later, as they gear up for their high school reunion, none of them have made it. One classmate heads back to Baltimore to investigate how their dreams died; and should they be resuscitated?

SYNOPSIS:

THROUGH THE EYES OF OTHERS follows eleven graduates of the Baltimore School for the Arts as they reflect on the meaning of success and if they've given up on their dreams as they prepare for their 20 year high school reunion. Through the eyes of this dynamic and diverse cast, we dig deep into addiction, trauma, mental illness, family relationships, racism, privilege, motherhood, and infertility while taking a critical look at the notions of success, purpose, and meaning in our lives. This is a film that asks, can we awaken our sleeping dreams together?
