Danni The Champion

A Stornoway teenager dreams of getting behind the wheel and escaping her small-town life. Francesca Taylor Coleman stars in a powerful short from writer Ian Finlay Macleod.

Young Danni isn’t like the other girls in town. She’d rather be watching drag races down at the airport or tearing about behind the wheel of her brother’s car, Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes blasting on the stereo. Bored of her life on the island and stifled by her passive-aggressive parents, she dreams of hitting the road and showing everyone what she can do. A powerful short, for the National Theatre of Scotland’s Scenes for Survival series, from writer Ian Finlay Macleod, starring Francesca Taylor Coleman and directed by Laura Cameron Lewis. Produced in association with An Lanntair and Studio Fir Chlis with support from Hopscotch Films.
