“Silent Thunder” is the heartwarming story of Stanford Addison: a Native American Elder, Spiritual Leader, Horse Tamer, and Quadriplegic. By means of his unique method of gentling wild horses, Stanford delivers a subtle yet timely message of universal peace and cultural tolerance as he casually inspires viewers to seek spiritual consciousness and individual awareness through sharing the experiences of his own life. Stanford irrevocably teaches us that life is greater than it appears and our problems are not as big as they seem.

“Silent Thunder,” is an emotional documentary in a “slice of life” style that invites the viewer into a world of hope and inspiration. It was shot documentary style but pulling on more “hip” influences from its young director it utilizes symbolic images, quick cuts, and special effects to inspire moments of introspection. It also explores and utilizes the capacities of the newest affordable usage of digital technologies and possibilities in digital filmmaking and post production; cutting edge that is not over the top.
