“All the rest is noise” by Barnabas Wilhelm

Music is the catharsis that takes pain and turns it into hope, this is one of those stories.

Sometimes life crashes down on us, pushing us down and holding us back. This film is about the everyday struggles we face, social pressures and especially the pressure we put on ourselves. Our film follows the story of three people and their metamorphosis from insecurity and self doubt to self acceptance and appreciation.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

“I am not sure how often in a career you encounter projects that are truly special. Not only for what the project is but especially for with who you make it. This was one of these projects. 

This film was originally a film commissioned by a brand. Our joint aim, to tell an honest and truthful story about the power of music, and how it is the catharsis that can change pain into hope. Even though the client loved what we did, I think we did it a little too well. They decided not to use the film, as the message hit a little too hard for their brand identity.

Thankfully though they allowed the story to be shared as a short film instead. Funny how the life and purpose of a film can change. On this occasion I am just super happy we get to share what we made full heartedly.”

-Barnabas Wilhelm
