Imagination for All Ages
what language is and what you can do
with your hands: the sign language;
Rose's paper cutout-and-glued miniature buildings; the handmade liveaction miniatures that give form to Ben's
imagination; and the scenes at the
Queens Museum, with its handcrafted
Panorama of the City of New York.
The cinematography presents
each story with a look that evokes the
cinema of its period, with 1927 depicted
in the black-and-white of silent-era
cinema, and 1977 in the chroma of
1970s urban street realism. We worked

negative - black-and-white Double-X
negative for the '20s, and two Vision3
color stocks for the '70s - shooting
primarily in 3-perf with Arricam Studio
cameras; for one key location, we opted
to shoot digitally. Through editing,
sound and music, our two stories
coalesce as one.
Top: Surrounded by her handcrafted scale-model skyscrapers, Rose - who was born deaf - tries in vain
to study a book about communication. Middle: Rose takes the ferry to Manhattan. Bottom: Lillian
Mayhew (Julianne Moore) stars in the silent film-within-the-film, Daughter of the Storm.

Rose is deaf, and you realize the movie is
silent because it's from her point of view.
Ben's story, in color, in 1977, is about
him becoming deaf. So the theme of
