Silent as the Grave

Imagine a modern noir film set in the suburbs. There's tons of room for play and that is exactly what Silent as the Grave does. When aspiring documentary filmmaker Chris is hired by a femme fatale (his mother) to investigate a cold case involving the murder of his uncle decades earlier, she sees a potential new project full of conspiracies, cover-ups, and secrets. He has only one clue to start out from, who has been leaving flowers at his uncle's grave all these years and why?

It's ironic that his most recent documentary covered the history of noir filmmaking. If only he could recognize he's in a hardboiled whodunit of his own, maybe he could foresee some of the tropes waiting for him right around the corner.

We've got some good acting here, cinematography is a notch above most of the low budget competitors which brings you into the story quickly. And, as expected, there are lots of reveals along the way that will keep the one interesting for you until the last moments.
