Mr. Radio (2010)

Full Overview

An ironic silent comedy adventure about a man who becomes obsessed with listening to the radio in 1927. Filmed with 20s-era motion picture equipment, this B+W silent short features Craig Sailor as the gullible protagonist who deifies a radio announcer and loses his personal compass. The early days of broadcasting are recreated in detail with music, comedy and politics leaving their mark on our naive hero and reflecting the power of our contemporary entertainment/news media. Filmed in Tacoma with cast and crew from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma and directed by David Derickson.
