Knowing who you can count on in life and when to admit someone new to that finite list is always tricky decision, doubly so for the autistic lead in Rob Brown’s Silent Things.

Silent Things (2009)

Rob’s previous short Echoes is screening with acclaimed French writer/director Claire Deni’s latest feature White Material from 9th – 15th July at the QUAD Derby.
