Short film ‘Silent Without The Sun’ directed by Ed de Carvalho and written by Tom Sacre, showcases what happens when there is a break in the Olympic cycle as he follows the Australian Rowing Team during a tumultuous 2020. The powerful story is illustrated like never before – a beautiful and courageous visual experience that champions the athletes that get up before the sun and rise to the occasion.
Says de Carvalho: “Having previously rowed on the Australian National Rowing Team, I often think about my mates who still get up every day to achieve their dreams of going to an Olympics. I saw last year as an opportunity tell a story that wasn’t in focus to the wider public – athletes striving to make it to Tokyo but not knowing if it was going ahead. I was very lucky to have a talented team like DP Casimir Dickson on set and Jonny Higgins composing an epic track.”

Cal rowing to make a splash in Tokyo

Bears have long been a part of the Olympic Games. Cal crew teams have struck gold for the United States three times at the games, more than any other university. This July, eight rowers will join the ranks of Cal Olympians when they hit the waters in Tokyo.
Five of those eight alumni hail from the women’s rowing program.
Alumnus Kara Kohler became the first U.S. rower to qualify for the Olympics in the single sculls event. Kohler punched her ticket in February after winning the event at the U.S. Olympic Rowing Trials. A 2011 All-American and Olympic bronze medalist, Kohler had no experience rowing until her college career at Cal.
