Running Without Sound! Its Shad 'Skyline Sweetheart' Sagger

Sean from Running Without Sound

So the other night I was watching a few short films and a  couple caught my eye . The first one I liked was called Running Without Sound (2004)  which maybe not in Mudge Boy shorts status but there was a lot to like about it . Schoolboy runner Sean (played by the wonderfully named Shad Sagger)  whose deaf , falls for fellow runner Derek played by Trace Barnes while Sean's friend 'hunky runner' looks on , well looking hunky and like any shirtless hunk he knows sign language too .


No Locker room action for Sean 



Dreamy D in green is the object of fellow runner Sean's affections 


Hunky Runner was he jealous ?

Time for a date - Sean makes his move 

Next after a run around the neighbourhood during physical  education , Sean summons up all his courage to ask dreamy Derek on a date . Well all right he doesn't , he wants to go on some running sessions but just with him  . Alas for Sean , 'Dreamy D'  has  a  running partner , but he invites our him in .Then in Derek's crib ,when  Derek is called downstairs  unexpectedly, our hero glances into his crushes secret diary which as you would expect for a secret diary  is right there on the bookshelf . 


Deamy D walks in and catches Sean reading his secret diary 



'' What ! Dreamy D has a crush on Hunky Runner ?''

Derek walks back in the room and catches Sean in the act , saying that his secret diary is ' private '. Sean moves to go , but Dreamy D says 'Hold on ' and the following happens ....

Yes the sequence is a tad overlong , and your thinking ''aw their going to kiss  '' but the kiss never happens .Its an odd film as it ends well pretty much with their desire unresolved .Do they go out ?, or are they now  just friends ?does hunky runner end up on the skool wrestling team or go into modeling for Abercrombie  and Fitch ?

I did enjoy  Shads Saggers acting and I wondered where is he now , well of course hes in a boy band called 'SkyLine' who are on one awesome mission to take the world by storm and embark on the greatest adventure of their lives. 



Step by Step Its Skyline !  Shads in the middle !

These boiz mean business as their biography states ...''Rockin' original Skyline dog tags around their necks, the boys use this symbol of commitment to enter the unforgiving battle ground that is the music industry. The tags represent a dedication to the fight in delivering music that transcends what boy bands are stereotypically expected to do. Unlike others,(O Town , Backstreet Boys  , Take 5 ) Skyline was self-assembled: it was the product of five relentless hearts who decided to dress like themselves and sing songs that rang true. Skyline is proud to inject a dose of realness into its music. '' 

Shads a Skyline Sweetheart

I say good luck to Shad and the Skyboiz ,particularly as their my space includes a fan section where fans of all ages can declare their love for the boiz .Shad has captured  fans dreams as the boy next door or as hes called 'Skyline Sweat heart ' and I loved the photo of fan Leo holding his handmade Valentine's card asking if Shad could be his Valentine .Equally heartwarming was Shads declaration of joy in finding his 'brothers in the band'  ...
