We here at Silhouettes and Cigarettes like good music and so should you! We are an independent film/webseries and so all the music featured in the projects are from underground bands. They range from indie, emo, jazz, rock, and techno. By putting these amazing songs in the movie and series we hope to add some much deserved attention for these talented artists.
Keep in mind, all of these artists donated the songs that were used within the film, and for that, they rock and roll.

Silhouettes and Cigarettes the film
Silhouettes and Cigarettes is a 2008 independent film co-written, directed and starring Bobby Buccellato. The film tells the story of Robert Croston (played by Bobby Buccellato), a student filmmaker, womanizer, pill popper and alcoholic.
After discovering that he is suffering from heart failure and faces certain death if he does not change his ways, Croston forgoes all medical advice and decides to live out his last year as per usual. As the year progresses, Croston's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Riley (played by Erica DeCarlo), becomes pregnant with his child. Also during this year, his best friend, Joe (played by Jonathan Rodriguez) dies in a car accident. He then starts an affair with his dead friend's girlfriend, Amanda (played by Ashley Miller) which results in her pregnancy with Croston's second child. This knowledge in hand, Croston sets out to capture the final year of his life on film so that his children will know their father.
The film is made as part mockumentary and part narrative. The film opens with a documentary of Croston made roughly three years after his death. It is later revealed that one of Croston's closest friend's was tasked by him to make this documentary. Throughout the course of the film the viewer sees from a distance Croston writing down notes, letters, and instructions for his loved ones. You find out that he gave his closest friends pages of detailed notes of how the documentary and the final year film was to be completed. The movie is mixed with elements of both the documentary, interviews with Croston's close friends, and Croston's own journey; that the audience is literally suppose to feel the life, death, and legacy of Robert Croston. Death is a main theme of the film. Both Croston and his friend Joe (Rodriguez) die in the course of the film. But, also Croston's first love and parents have all passed on before the begining of the film which again comes full circle after Joe's death.But,the film seems more about what the presence of death does to our lives, then death itself. Croston's early drug use is due mainly to his parents death in a plane crash and then the suicide of his lover Julie. When Joe dies, he begins drinking again and has an affair with Amanda.
