Notes from Silences gathers fractured memories from Vieques and Bali, two islands on opposite ends of the world that seem like "paradise fantasy" on the surface, but conceal a common buried history.  Unplanned footage, photographs, and snippets of voice recordings, taken during the filmmaker's journey through research and encounter, intertwine with the sounds of nonhuman kin that bore witness when humans choose to forget. Beneath what seems to be banalities of everyday life, lies the loudest echo of violence: the silences people continue to keep.
