Documentary film version of Matthew West's 'Something To Say' released
A DOCUMENTARY chronicling American singer/songwriter Matthew West's season
of silence, is now available in some American bookshops in a special
CD+DVD version of his critically acclaimed album, 'Something To Say'.
The documentary, Nothing To Say, was produced and directed by Benjamin
Eisner, whose credits include video projects for Kirk Franklin, Toby
Mac and Relient K. The documentary begins as West enters Nashville's
Vanderbilt Voice Center in May of 2007 for vocal chord surgery and
highlights his recovery process - including the communication
challenges he faced during weeks of medically mandated vocal silence
- concluding with footage from West's emotional return to the studio
and stage. Explained West, "We decided to start filming when I
learned I would need to have surgery. I found myself in an uncertain
place, fearing a possibility I might never sing again. But I wanted
to document the experience to allow others to walk through it with
me, believing the end result would bring hope and encouragement to
those facing unexpected challenges in life." ![]()
