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.   Â
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.Â
Be Steadwell
is a songwriter and filmmaker from Washington DC.Â
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.Â
