The Trailer for "A Short Surf Film in Super Eight" by Justin Bullock

2006-04-11T08:41:00.000-07:00

"A Short Surf Film in Super Eight" by Justin Bullock, was made with two things in mind; to recapture the the spirit of surfing in it's purest form, and to bring people together whether they surf or not. It shows the culture, fun and comraderie of the surfing lifestyle starting with the Duke in the 1940s and continues through the decades on Maui with the Uchimura Bros. and many more. You'll also see some great surfing on Oahu's North Shore in the 70s and 80s, clean California, Australia, and current footage of surf on Maui's West Side. This film was shot entirely on 8mm and Super 8mm film. It is 37 minutes of pure fun; a movie that anyone, surfer or not, will want to see over and over again. This is a "shows only" movie.
