## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

A Quiet Place is a 2018 American post-apocalyptic horror film directed by John Krasinski. The screenplay was written by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and John Krasinski, based on a story conceived by Beck and Woods. The film features actors Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe. The plot follows a tight-knit family that is forced to live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound. These blind alien creatures possess ultra-sensitive hearing, leaving the family to struggle for survival in a world where they are cut off from the rest of the population.
