A behind the scenes look at Sin by Silence was in People Magazine’s January 2010 issue. As part of the “Amazing Reunions” article, the story of how Brenda Clubine lost her son upon incarceration was highlighted. As shown in a scene of Sin by Silence, a phone call connected them after nearly 26 years of being a part. The glue that brought their reunion together was actually the production of Sin by Silence when Olivia Klaus, the director of the film, got a phone call from Brenda’s son while on his quest to find his mother. The QLP team was then able to play a key role in reuniting a mother and son together, while also capturing this amazing journey for what becomes a beautiful ending to such a tragic story.

“You can’t just want your film to be a powerful tool for creating social change.  YOU HAVE TO ENSURE IT!”  – Working Films

The Quiet Little Place team will be heading to NY in August for our first film residence with Working Films.  As a recent grantee of the Fledgling Fund, were were chose to be part of the week long activities that will help us refine audience engagement plans for Sin by Silence.

“This interactive workshop focuses on the nuts & bolts of audience and community engagement campaigning for non-fiction films. Working Films will guide a select group of grantees from the Fledgling Fund and Chicken & Egg Pictures as they create and/or refine audience engagement plans for their non-fiction media and film projects. Linking the documentaries to organizations committed to progressive social change will be a key component of the residency.”

Another great piece about domestic violence aired on NPR today.  It featured a segment from Sin by Silence, and has sparked great discussions on the topic of shelter budget cuts in the midst of skyrocketing demand for help.

“When the economy goes down, the number of domestic abuse cases usually goes up. KPCC’s Susan Valot says that seems to be the case in Orange County, where it’s taking more work to place battered women and their children in safe havens.”

We recently did an interview with Patt Morrison on KPCC and had amazing response.  What an amazing opportunity to talk about the film and help shed some light on the issues of domestic violence.

Patt Morrison’s show is known for its innovative discussions of local politics and culture, and for its presentation of national and world news as it affects Southern California.
