For sixteen-year-old Darryl, life in Roman-occupied Nazareth is a real drag - especially when everyone at your high school thinks you' re a loser, and you' re convinced the spots on your forehead are sure signs of leprosy. But everything changes with the arrival of a new refugee neighbour, Jay, the son of god. When Jay decides to join Darryl' s band, they discover the most potent force of all time: the power of METAL. And friendship. But mostly METAL. A radical, hilarious, and touching story of teen angst, The Book of Darryl is an augmented reality novel (an app allows you to view animated pages of the print book) featuring gif animations from the cult artist Scorpion Dagger, sound effects, and an original heavy metal score. Cowritten and directed by the Webby Award-winning team the Goggles (Welcome to Pine Point, Adbusters), The Book of Darryl recounts the genesis of heavy metal and the friendship behind one of the greatest untold musical partnerships in history.
The Goggles are Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simons, award-winning creators who have spent their professional lives telling stories in compelling new ways. Their interactive documentary, Welcome to Pine Point, received more than a dozen international awards. They are coauthors of the book I Live Here, and their work has been featured on CNN and MTV, and in documentaries for BBC, PBS, and Dutch National Television. Closer Productions' Matt Bate is a writer, director and producer working across drama, documentary and VR. His debut feature film Shut Up, Little Man! premiered in competition at Sundance 2011, and his sophomore film Sam Klemke' s Time Machine, selected for Sundance New Frontier 2014. James Kerr is a digital artist based in Montreal, best known for his animated GIF project Scorpion Dagger, where he mixes cut outs from various paintings from art history to create a world where he comments on our modern age, and pop culture in general. His GIFs have been shown in art galleries throughout North America and Europe.
