Before the dialogue, before the soundtracks, there was silence—and yet cinema spoke volumes. In this episode of Behind the Slate, Jules and Devon journey back to the era of Chaplin, Keaton, and Murnau to uncover how the earliest filmmakers crafted stories that still shape the way movies are made today.

From expressive performances and groundbreaking camera work to the editing techniques that defined visual storytelling, we break down the silent film innovations that echo through modern blockbusters and indie gems alike. Whether it’s the raw tension of A Quiet Place or the breathtaking visuals of Mad Max: Fury Road, the silent era’s fingerprints are everywhere.

🎧 Join us as we explore the artistry of silence—and why its influence will never fade.
