The Beautiful Calm

What would it be like to surf without sound?

“Sometimes I wish I could hear the roar of the ocean around me. Sometimes I wish I knew what it sounded like to be on a wave.”   

A girl born with Waardenburg syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, which causes hearing impairment, discusses what it’s like to surf without the benefit of sound.

A beautifully shot, short film that entertains while creating a deep empathy with the girl who is its subject. The Beautiful Calm has a haunting quality that stays with you long after you’ve stopped watching.

Film by Andy Gray.
