Noise Fragments: Prozac for Cows

Prozac For Cows is a simple plan Ryan of Shame On You wants to implement.

“Basically every month what I like to do is try to get in about ten hours of protesting or striking, either one.” This is how Ryan (Dean Delray) starts to explain his latest social cause: giving psychiatric medications to farm animals. He recently joined the “Same Rights For All” group to combat the newly discovered Motion Deficit Disorder in cows who don’t get to “ran and play” outside.

Taken from the film Noise Matters written and directed by Matias Masucci starring Ugo Bianchi, Bret Roberts, Joey Capone, Dean Delray and Matias Masucci.

Chapter Two: Sweet & Sour

Sweet & Sour is the second chapter of Independent Society’s series dealing with that which can be expressed without words. Sofia (Angela Sarafyan) takes care of her last costumer before closing her chocolate shop and spending some quality time with Marcello (Matias Masucci). Can they make it this time?

Written and directed by Matias Masucci, “Sweet & Sour” was shot and edited by Karbis Sarafyan and features appearances by Kim Blair and Brock Branan.

A Teaser for Noise Matters

Noise Matters Deleted Scenes is a collection of shots and clips that was not used for the film but I’ve put it together because it conveys the feel that ultimately I like about Noise Matters. The song was specifically written for the film by Cody Marks and is titled I Found it All.

This is a matter of noise, its culture and its effects on the lives of a group of off-beat characters devoted to the simplest of all “arts”, making noise. “…memories are connected to sounds” says Dagobert, leader of the noise band “Shame On You”, as he explains the painstaking process of finding the right objects to generate unique and inimitable sounds capable of evoking emotions in the listener.

Noise Matters is a glance into the life of a professional noise maker, an abstract painter, a sound engineer and a social agitator brought together by their passion for creating sounds using everyday objects.

Trouble starts when their manager Captain Monroe, a womanizing conspiracy theorist and con man, insists on having them record an album that Dagobert just cannot bring himself to do. The story explores the implications of creative undertakings within a group and its impact on artistic integrity.
