“To be the only human around for miles, surrounded by trillions of stars, riding through the desert on a dark road when everything is static except your movement through the void.” That's the thinking that inspired The Silence, this beautiful short film from Matthew Irving about the silence found in the American West—the narration speaks to our souls as much as the quiet in those wild places. You can follow Irving on Facebook here and on Instagram here.
