'IF YOU COULD SAY IT IN WORDS'
Feature film - 2008

Directed by Nicholas Gray.
Film editor and Color grading by Ariel Roubinov.

Winner of Derby City Film Festival 2008 for the best feature and the best film in the festival

Philadelphia love story, it follows the story of NELSON and SADIE, two very different but equally broken souls. He, a painter with undiagnosed Asperger’s Syndrome, struggles to complete a triptych of Emotion paintings— emotions he understands more intellectually than intrinsically. She, a girl whose big-city dreams were dashed, is treading water in a job that’s not her career, living with a roommate who’s not her friend, and keeping a bedmate who’s not her lover.

When circumstances bring NELSON and SADIE together, a relationship spawns from awkward beginnings. As the weeks go by, they come to share their secrets freely, though neither manages to share feelings very well. Soon the jealousies of others plant doubts in Sadie’s head as Nelson becomes more and more immersed in his triptych, racing to capture on canvas what he cannot say in words. Unapologetically romantic, savagely realistic,

WORDS takes a long, hard look at the price of integrity and the illogical ways of the heart.
