Vow of Silence
tells the story of Jade, a heartbroken composer who takes a vow of
silence to win back the heart of Isis, her true love. In her
struggle to reconnect with Isis, she meets Jaxson-an outgoing
musician. Utilizing music, magic and silence-Jade finds her voice
in the place she least expects it.
Vow of Silence is a music driven story, placing queer women of color
at the center of the narrative. In her inability to speak-Jade
communicates her pain, weakness, power and joy through music. An
original score by Be Steadwell and live music narrate Jade's
journey.
Be Steadwell
is a songwriter and filmmaker from Washington DC. Redefining
the love song in a modern context, Be describes her music as "queer
pop and soul". In her live performances, she utilizes vocal
layering, elaborate harmonies, and beat boxing to compose her songs on
stage.
