sharks

'Wanted to share with you a short film I just programmed as part of an online series I currate for the public tv station I work at. The film is called "Devil's Teeth" and it's a beautifully shot super 8mm and video film about the last sea urchin diver at the Farrallones, which is a group of notorious islands 10 miles off the coast of SF. Famous Great White breeding ground. Not a surf film but a beautiful and different ocean related film I thought you'd all enjoy it. Only 10 minutes long.' - Elizabeth

About time there was another girls' surf movie produced. Roxy stepped into the funding breach - why is there no money for real girls' surfing projects??

Under the Sun

The Gold Coast vs Byron Bay as two faces of modern surfing's commercialisation and exponential growth. A nice few minutes of waves and opinions from luminaries. Hopefully it's available over here, and hopefully SurfGirl will get a review copy!

Young Guns 3

Pretty much the whole office went to watch Young Guns 3, the new Quiksilver flick, last night. The free food and beer in the Sugar Lounge in Newquay went down nicely and there was a big crowd assembled upstairs to watch the action. Nice to see so many girls there - the last premiere I went to there were about five…Also lots of hot men there, which was good entertainment. Jake Paterson was on board to intro the film, not that many people seemed to be listening to him.

Anyway, I think it needed a bit of editing. I loooove all and any surf films, but I wasn't all that impressed to be honest. The kids blow up, there's no question of that, but there was little coherence to the film and no theme. Also, the camerawork had nothing like the 'wow' factor of the amazing helicopter stuff seen before. I guess I just expected more, even from Slater's section. Loved the music and don't get me wrong the surfing really was shit-hot, but the waves weren't great and it wasn't put together how you'd expect. Throw more money at the film less on the parties, I guess…I'm still in love with Ry Craike tho. ;-)
