THE SILENT SAMARITAN (TBD)
A silent mechanic with a mysterious past quietly repairs the lives of those society has cast aside—until the weight of his own compassion threatens to break him.

HANDBOOK
PRE-PRODUCTION
With the concept in place, we began scripting and developing the visual tone. Mood boards were created to lock in the look: muted colors, long shadows, and minimal dialogue. We drew inspiration from films like The Rider, Drive, and A Ghost Story.
Casting focused on presence over dialogue—every gesture had to matter. Locations were scouted for their isolation and worn textures. We also designed the mechanic’s world with symbolism in mind: tools, oil, and silence all playing into his character.
POST PRODUCTION
Production was intentionally minimalist to match the story’s tone. The majority of scenes were shot in and around a single garage location. With a small crew and natural lighting, we leaned into the stillness, letting silence and movement drive the emotional rhythm.
Our focus was on performance, blocking, and visual storytelling. Every shot was framed to emphasize space and solitude, letting the audience feel the weight of the mechanic’s silence.
DEVELOPMENT
The journey of The Silent Samaritan began with a single question: What would the Good Samaritan look like in today’s world?
This evolved into the idea of a silent mechanic—a man who doesn’t speak, yet serves those who are broken and forgotten. The silence wasn’t just a creative choice; it became central to the story’s identity, raising questions about trauma, duty, and grace. The project took shape as a meditation on quiet compassion in a noisy world. The outline was refined to explore this as both a short story and a potential feature film or series.
