Thomas Campbell has a new surf film coming out called The Present. If you aren't familiar with the films Thomas makes, they're worth checking out even for the land-lover. He shoots everything on slippery 16mm, which means lugging a huge film camera into the waves. It's safe to say no one has ever captured surfing this way, and with the eye of an accomplished visual artist no less. The endless reign of the Endless Summer might just be coming to an end.

While you're at it, check out this profile about him on VBS. When he compares drawing to learning how to skateboard (you must fall many times before you get it right) I don't feel so bad about sitting under piles of crumpled up crappy drawings. 

Post-production on all Thomas' films is skillfuly handled by my good friends the Diamonds at MBS Productions.
