Hear Me Roar (2018) Online
Lily (Mangan), is a passionate, but lonely singer-songwriter with selective mutism, who desperately wants to connect with those around, especially her burnt-out mother Debora (Baar) and her formerly sporty sister Beth (Vachet). Unfortunately, Lily feels lost, helpless and incapable of forming a connection, until the unexpected arrival of a sparky photographer (Bealtaine) could change everything.

Hear Me Roar (2018) marks the third consecutive collaboration between Matthew Jones and Dagmar Baar, following Rose (2016) and The Sound of Us (2017).
Matthew Jones first offered Georgia Bealtaine the role of Niamh on the set of The Sound of Us (2017). She was the first person to read the script.
Dagmar Baar's character, Debora, is a reference to the song of the same name by T. Rex, while Suzanne Vachet's character, Beth, is pulled from 'Beth/Rest' by Bon Iver.
Matthew Jones encouraged Georgia Bealtaine to watch interviews with Grimes as inspiration for Niamh's demeanour.
