Here are a few words from the directors themselves...
We just completed shooting a short Silent Hill homage entitled "SilentHill: Stolen Heart" that has had over 36,000 hits on YouTube.
Silent Hill： Stolen Heart -
It features Japanese Male Model/Karate Champion Zenta Ochi in the
lead, who also starred in "Never Let You Down".
It was shot to mimic the in game POV camera and as a fan, I wanted to
make it as accurate as possible to the world of Silent Hill, so
there's lots of little nods to various parts of the mythology for
those interested ;)
We also shot in an abandoned mining town that I'm sure was a strong
inspiration to the original game developers, in what used to be the
hospital, so the eerieness factor was through the roof; especially
considering the town was abandoned in 1974, the same year Silent Hill
was supposedly abandoned after the fires....
