The project is the brainchild of Josh Frank, who has written plays and books about music, as well as owning and programming independent movie theaters in Austin, Texas. “This is the culmination of everything I’ve been involved with creatively,” he says. “The theme here is what else can you do with your favorite music? It’s about the theatrics of putting on a show for people and using what I’m passionate about, which is music and experimenting with narrative.”

Hello internet friends- A happy 2026 to you. In lieu of honey and milk, here I offer pictures of the poster I illustrated for the 1925 film A Woman of the World as part of @silentsynced, where classic silent films are paired with alternative rock (this one features a soundtrack by Pearl Jam!!)
My love and thanks to @nakatomiinc for inviting me to create this piece and for printing the lovely and glittery screenprints! Keep an eye out for upcoming screenings in the UK and the US over at the @silentsynced page.

Overview
The latest Silents Synced installment is a genre-bending mashup of silent cinema and alt-grunge: A Woman of the World paired with Pearl Jam’s Vs.
A Woman of the World (1925) follows a liberal European countess, played by Pola Negri, who scandalizes a small, mid-Western American town with her unapologetic independence, sharp wit and tattooed arm. She was punk rock before punk even existed. Pairing the film with the music from Pearl Jam’s seminal albums Vs. and select songs from Vitalogy highlights a raw energy and urgent, emotional soundscape that mirror the countess’s defiance and vulnerability, bringing a gritty new layer to this 100-year-old film. A Woman of the World is a long forgotten rare classic ready to be discovered for the first time!
