A modern attempt at silent comedy style

A scene from "Charlie's Chase" (2018)

"Charlie's Chase" is a student film I came across when it showed up when I did a search for "Charley Chase". I've posted a number of student films to this blog over the years that tried to capture the feel and spirit of silent movies, but few been as successful as this one.

Check it out. It's short--just one minute long--and it's quite amusing. (One gag doesn't come off quite right, but I think the rest are excellent when one considers what this is.)
