Silent Screen 

The local town is home to a dusty, abandoned cinema. Dani and her friends love going there to mess about and look at all the old film posters. One day when they visit, an old silent film begins playing and a greyscale actor steps straight out of the screen! Then he invites Dani to take the stage. What does the silent comedian want? Will he teach Dani about his craft? Or take her to a world of silence?
