Post-production on The Ride has wrapped up and we’re pretty stoked with the resulting piece – part documentary, part experimental poetry, it is a melding of philosophy, music, art and surf.
The film is being put together with a booklet covering the ideas explored and documenting the production’s evolution. The Ride is due for release in early 2009.
April 2008 – June 2008
Production continues on The Ride with field research, interviews and of course hours of surf footage being gathered and put together. Interviewees include Shaun Tomson, Dave Rastovich, Low Pressure Sound System, surf journalist Tim Baker and shaper Greg Webber. Up and coming Manly-based artist Ishi Neave has lended his drawing talents to time art sequences and Aussi musicians Justin Carter and Tanis Alia have once again contributed their music

Filming commences in Western Australia for our latest production – The Ride. This film will explore the ocean’s beauty and mystery, it’s continuing hold over the imaginations of humans, and the transforming effect it has on the lives of those that ride its waves. Characters reflect on the ocean, the ideas of synchronicity, flow, sound and ocean waves, improvisation, living together, and the way in which the practice of surfing encompasses them.
