How to create a 3 minute, 1920's Silent Era film using modern technology can both be a challenge and huge fun. Actor/Writer/Director Michael Franklin's comedy offering "The Master Baiter" silent movie tackles the subject of harassment in a droll and amusing way and the girl comes out on top. It's a little bit of fun which the film-makers hope audiences will enjoy. The film shows the lengths to which some harassers will go in order to get a rise out of their intended mark. It also shows how some bullies, once confronted, back down very quickly. The film-makers, while presenting this as a piece of entertainment never advocate a particular way of dealing with bullies, harassers, those who bait, or try and get a rise out of you. All situations are different, and this film shows one way in which things 'could' turn out.
