FILM FESTIVALS YAY!!!

For those of you who have been following my career, you all know that allot has happened in a short amount of time. I have Shadows of the Same Sun premiering in the New York Surfing Film Festival. A movie completely made with zero budget but millions in heart & soul. Shadows is a passionate film shot from the eyes of someone with great respect for culture, history & adoration for friendship but, there is another movie, "Live to 32" directed by Kevin Breslin that will be showing soon at Film Fests near you. Its a dark Documentary taking on the issue of loopholes in our countries gun laws that make it quite simple for almost anyone to get their hands on a firearm regardless of health issues, legal issues or what have you that lead to the Cho Massacre at Virginia Tech. Its powerful & thought provoking & I hope everyone sees it.

Despite your stance on gun control in the USA, this Doc is sure to stir some serious thought on whatever you believe. Please keep your eyes peeled for the film Live for 32. It was a pleasure shooting with Kevin on this great trip to Virgina, my home state to bring out this great story.

Cheers,
Thomas

Ahhhh yess, Summer Time Blues

SUMMERTIME BLUES

Welp, the summer is here & the waves aren't. Its normal but none the less as surfers we are tortured with glassy conditions that resemble a good fishing lake & friends spreading the preverbal rumors, "I heard there's something coming next week." Until actually see a good wave, we relax under the boardwalk with our good friends in hammocks while Simon rocks his upright bass & sipping whatever concoction someone brings down to the beach. If this doesn't get you in a more chill state, then you need a doctor to prescribe you really good drugs.

Welp

IT IS DONE. Entering it into the New York surfing Fest. this year. I hope everyone will be there to see it with me!

Cheers!!!!!

TIme is on my Side

Trucking along here the film is almost there. Deadlines for the film festival are calling my name & Im nervous about it since I have a ZERO budget. No money what so ever & Im a lil guy trying to get it together & show my movie along with some very budgeted films. I just want to get it together to make this town proud of their surfing history & what they've done for us in the best way I can. They paved the way for us to enjoy this beach & surf to our hearts content.

I truly hope everyone enjoys this movie.

Thank you to all the people who have helped me make this movie become what it is. I guess we'll see what happens at the fest. Stay tuned for updates!

Cheers,
Thomas
