Gray & Reality
Reality
Hey Gray, have you ever noticed how the quiet moments in a day—those pauses between breaths—end up being the richest parts of the stories people tell? I'm curious how you capture that silence in your poems, and how I try to bring it to life on film.
Gray
I notice those pauses the way a river does its own quiet work, steady and unseen, yet moving everything around it. In my verses I let the line breathe, give it room to stay still before it spills over, like a leaf that has just begun to fall. I think the richest stories aren’t in the words themselves but in what lingers between them, and I hope your film can catch that quiet weight, the kind of silence that feels like a breath held just for a moment.

That’s a beautiful way to think about it—capturing the weight of those held breaths is exactly what I aim for on set. When people pause, the real truth often shows up, and I’ll try to make that silence do the talking.
Gray
It sounds like you’re listening for the quiet truth, and that’s a quiet power of its own. I’ll trust that the pauses you frame on set will speak louder than any dialogue.
Reality
Thanks, Gray. I’ll let the quiet speak for us and see where the truth unfolds.
Gray
I’ll be here when the silence tells its story.

See you then, when the story starts to breathe.
