Static is a short psychological drama about young sound engineer Noah, whose world revolves around sound and music, until he begins to lose his hearing. As his tinnitus worsens and his career starts to slip away, Noah’s sense of identity unravels. What begins as a story about sound becomes one about silence, control, and acceptance. Across a few days, we follow Noah through the chaos of a failed live gig, a devastating diagnosis, and the breakdown of his relationships with his loved ones. Desperate to stay in control, he retreats into his studio, surrounding himself with wires, waveforms, and light, trying to see and feel sound when he can no longer hear it. At its heart, Static is a story about losing the thing that defines you, and learning to find meaning in the quiet that follows. We want to create a film that feels immersive and emotionally raw, where the audience experiences the world exactly as Noah does. This film is important because so many of us tie our worth to what we do - to our productivity, our achievements, and the “noise” we make in the world. Static explores what happens when that noise stops. It’s a film about burnout, identity, and learning to find comfort in stillness, themes that feel deeply relevant to young creatives today.
