Louder Than Words (2017)
Louder Than Words follows a young musician named Ansel (Luke Farley), and his unexpected encounter with Niall (Marty Lauter), an endearing, deaf dancer.
When forced to share a studio space, artists Ansel and Niall find themselves awkwardly beside each other, performing song and dance respectively. They have an underlying connection, and that is a closeted interest and admiration of each other. While Niall can read lips, an obvious language barrier still stands between him and Ansel. In order to communicate, Ansel and Niall must step out of their comfort zones, because even though they share similar passions and quickly inspire each other, the inevitable risk of miscommunication—both in language and emotion—remains, rendering their hidden affection almost impossible to express.
Imdb user: Ansel (Luke Farley) is a young guitarist who arrives at a music/dance school knowing nobody. There, he meets deaf dancer Niall (Marty Lauter) and his best friend Kenya (Apryl Wilson) and after a rocky start they gradually begin to bond. It is a little like “Five Dances” (2013) in it’s gentle use of music and dance to establish and develop a friendship, maybe into something more…
