Silence bravely tackles the dark and difficult subject of child sexual abuse. Used along with its companion study guide, Silence offers counselors and educators an easier way of opening up discussions with students about a topic that is normally difficult to address. The film grew into a world-class production through the dogged determination of the LVF team and an unprecedented array of some of the biggest names in the film industry including Warner Roadshow Studios, Cutting Edge, Kodak, Atlab plus many more (see full list below). These sponsors provided their goods and/or service either free or at a greatly reduced cost.

Silence, written, directed, and edited by Michael Yee, was meant to be a horror/mystery with a twist, but chance played her card when Michael was discussing the script with Producer, Craig A Kocinski, at his unit on the Gold Coast. A friend of Craig’s joined them on his balcony, and after hearing about the film, the floodgates were thrown open and her horrific story unfolded. “We heard about her past sexual abuse, which she apparently hadn’t shared with anyone before. It had left very deep emotional scars. The experience seemed to be cathartic for her”, said Craig. Michael and Craig then realized the film's potential. After many rewrites, and the assistance of child abuse organizations like Advocates of Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) and Bravehearts, the film’s script evolved into something that could be easily identified with. It ended up a psychological suspense thriller.
