Logline: A Black couple’s strength is tested when the ambitious husband, a star defense attorney at a white-shoe law firm, is thrust into a controversial stand-your-ground case in which he must defend a White woman who murdered a Black teen.

SILENT PARTNER is co-written by DMV native and resident James J. Johnson and directed by Academy Member Eric Branco (DP of CLEMENCY) in a stunning directorial debut. The film stars Roderick Lawrence (TINA), Susan Heyward (THE BOYS), and Jeff Perry (SCANDAL). The film is based on the short film of the same name that screened at 25 festivals, won 13 awards, was an HBO Max Short Film Competition finalist, and qualified for the Oscars.
