    I loved his "Silent Movie" - saw it twice on the same day that it came out with two different batches of friends.

    Growing up we watched Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie almost every week. Happy birthday Mel, thanks for all laughs and grotesque which shaped us.

    Silent Movie (1976). https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0075222/

    Very much a comedy of the 70s rather than an earnest silent film from the 20s/30s. It's a silent movie about making a silent movie -- in my opinion, peak Mel Brooks.

    Have you done voice over before? Also, is it okay to ask if you are a guy or a gal?

    I find fiverr super interesting for coming up with creative ideas. Stumbled on this one randomly, which made me smile (even though I have no use for it) - https://www.fiverr.com/irishguy1/create-a-silent-movie-of-your-message
