In The Silver Pencil, audiences follow an artist on a journey of haunting self-discovery and watch her life lose color as her colored pencils are snapped and discarded by those she encounters until she only has one left: the silver pencil. This story metaphorically represents life as a box of colored pencils, each of which tells a valuable part of the artist’s story.
