    A brilliant concept brilliantly executed!

    I saw this on the big screen at a film festival, and I sure am glad that I was able to experience it theatrically. It stood head and shoulders above the other shorts it shared a program with. It is a visually marvelous and aurally harrowing emotional and physical experience. I was stunned by Tawan Bazemore's directing and vision. If this is what he's capable of in the short film format, I can't wait to see what he's capable of in the domain of feature films.

    I must also give high praise to Crystal Porter Bazemore's performance. Her commitment to her performance stuck with me well ever leaving the theater. It takes a lot of courage to do something that gut-wrenching and emotionally and physically demanding. I greatly look forward to her future on the screen as well.

    Sound is entirely worthy of all the praise and buzz it has been receiving. Best wishes to this enormously gifted husband-and-wife filmmaking team. Looking forward to the next experience!

    Amazing capture of an everyday experience , turned terrifying

    I am not really into thrillers but this film I was utterly entertained by, how the director was able to portray and everyday experience as a horrifying reality was beyond genius! The main actress did a spectacular job portraying this message and I am fascinated each and every time I watch this film! I highly recommend this is a must watch!!!!!

    Hitchcockian

    Most films depend on dialogue as a crutch to coddle the audience, but Sound relies on old school filmmaking to entertain the viewers. Each time I see it, I have a new experience with it. It's nicely paced, yet requires an attentive audience to pick up on visual cues. You have to be a patient film watcher, in a patient mood. Extreme suspense is built until the very end.

    Sound is an excellent film masterfully shot/directed by Tawan Bazemore. Crystal Bazemore provides rock solid acting through the use of her face and eyes. There is not a loud background score despite being a thriller, and the sound design is top notch.

    An Amazing film!

    The stress and reality of losing ones hearing is frightening and the intensity can be felt throughout this film. Crystal did an amazing job at expressing the pains of that reality in such a realistic way that it begs you to appreciate everything about life!

    Intense

    This film short is authentically terrorizing as it grips the imagination and introduces its audience to an absolutely horrifying result from a car accident...which was the reversal of our normal volume of SOUND being intensified to an unimaginable level...

    To be able to hear sounds is a gift, this film clearly shows you the reversal can be maddening to the point of no return...and you cannot turn it down! Seriously and realistically scary... just the thought of ending it with 2 knives... for each ear piercing the eardrums...possibly permanently if you did not die from that action...I was left SPEECHLESS!

    Would love to see a full length version of this movie, knowing me at the time this awesome actress gets the two knives...my eyes will be closed and I will scream out to the SOUND! Fantastic movie...I can't even imagine that, can you? BRAVO to Crystal Porter Bazemore and Director Tawan Bazemore. Great film guys. BRAVO❣👌👍🙏💯💞

      A dialogue driven scene was removed from the movie. The character Patricia, Isabelle's friend was removed from the film. The scene wasn't needed for the film's story. It was exposition on steroids.
