Mime Your Business
Los Angeles
Project Details
One Mime. Zero words. Dozens of experts. A desperate documentary crew follows Simon Saez, a niche anachronistic mime, on the day of his long awaited show in Los Angeles. Determined to capture the notoriously silent performer’s first-ever interview, the film crew follows him through his morning routines, rehearsals, and increasingly uncomfortable interviews, only to discover that he refuses to not just speak onstage, but in every aspect of his life.
