A script for a no-dialog, voiceless film -- essentially a silent film -- is the same as any other script. The story has a beginning, a middle and an end. And there is no dialog to write.
Your challenge as the script writer is to imagine enough visible action to be portrayed by the actors so that you can effectively move the story forward in every scene with action alone.
As well, your one-page: one-minute of film time rule may fall away, because of the longer action descriptions.
Finally, you may want to collaborate with the principals in the film, the director and the actors, in order to leverage their ideas into the story and possibly be able to tell the story more efficiently.
PS: Before you begin, rent a few silent films, so that you understand how they work. As well, you may want to include intertitles -- text commentaries -- between scenes or inserted into scenes for clarification.
