"Chris Edwards captures in words the essence of what the silent camera captures on film."

Shirley Hughes
Founder, Executive Director
Toronto Silent Film Festival

"As a long-time member of the Toronto Film Society and its board of directors, I find it refreshing to read Chris Edwards' reviews of silent films. His writing is unique, personal, and thoughtful. He has a quick sense of humour and catches details others miss. Having seen many of the films Chris reviews, I look forward to reading what he has to say about them on his blog."

Caren Feldman
Seminar Chairperson
Toronto Film Society

"Actions speak louder at this blog."

Why I do this.

I've been watching silent films since my teens. Now I write about them. And now you can read about them. Lots and lots of 'em.
