Silent Roar

Barrington

Johnny grew up on the Isle of Skye and worked as a ship’s photographer for two years in the Pacific and Caribbean, before studying Photography at The Glasgow School of Art. Two of his short films, Trout (2007) and Tumult (2012), premiered at Sundance Film Festival and were both BAFTA nominated. After directing his first feature film, Silent Roar (2022) in the Western Isles, he is now writing a new feature screenplay.

On the island of Lewis, Scotland, Dondo, a young surfer, refuses to accept the death of his fisherman dad, despite being missing at sea for over a year. Unlike quiet and dreamy Dondo, his clever classmate Sas is never afraid of rubbing people the wrong way. Dondo and Sas’ unlikely bond will help them find their path in their rural community, through waves, beliefs, and hellfire.
