PRESS RELEASE
Thomas Campbell’s new film The Present kicks off this Friday, March 6 (7 & 9pm), at La Paloma and shows again Saturday, March 7. You may know Campbell’s previous films Sprout and the Seedling. Stop by Patagonia Surf Shop to buy pre-sale tickets for the Paloma shows.
Surfers in the film like Dan Malloy, Keith Malloy, Rob Machado, Devon Howard, Kassia Meador and Chris del Moro are going to be there for the first night’s show.
On Sunday March 8, The Present will be traveling down south to La Jolla Contemporary Art Museum for two shows. Get tickets at http://www.trimyourlifeaway.com.
Campbell’s new film is a colorful and artistic exploration of the beautiful environment surfers play in every day. This film showcases more tri fin shredding than his previous films, with a great Dane Reynolds part, but you can still expect there to be a good smattering of different kinds of equipment ridden by some of the best guys in the world. Of note, will be some mind-warping footage of alaia surfing in Indo and the North Shore by Rasta, Del Moro and Dan Malloy.
Encinitas jazz duo Mattson 2, who played on the soundtrack, will perform live with special guest Ray Barbee at both the Paloma and La Jolla shows.
