Based On True Events
Silent Confession is a mind-bending true crime movie thriller.
Set in Danbury, Connecticut in 1970, what unravels is one of the most infamous crimes of the era.
On Friday, Feb. 13th, 1970, the Pardue brothers, John and James, set off a bomb at the Danbury, Connecticut Police Headquarters as a diversion while they robbed a nearby bank. The explosion was severe and resulted in nearly $200,000 worth of damage. 26 people were injured, including police officers and civilians.
After the brothers successfully robbed the bank, they set off another explosion to create even more chaos as they made their getaway. Panic and confusion was in the air that morning and left the town feeling mortified and violated.
A third bomb went off at 10:41 a.m. demolishing the getaway car, which had been abandoned in the parking lot of the old Danbury Mall on Main Street. As they made their escape, the Pardue brothers relished all the money and mayhem that they had gotten away with.
This was just one event in a long series of bank robberies, bombings, and murders that span from all the way from Missouri to Connecticut.

style and treatment
The visual style is energetic, cinematic with grit. The cinematography will be smooth with a mix of hand-held shots for action scenes.
Since Silent Confession is set at the end of the 1960’s and early 1970’s, it features many period details, such as appropriate makes and models of cars, fashion and hairstyles, popular technology of the era, music on the charts, etc. This allows added nostalgia to the movie without taking it away from the story and characters.
The movie soundtrack will be classic but timeless. Including popular songs from that time period. The other music will be original, which we imagine as cinematic, eerie, inspired by the likes of Han Zimmer, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, from movies like Interstellar and The Social Network.
