At 23 years old John John Florence is one of the top surfers ever, dominating competitions around the world. But lately he’s been putting his energies towards something else: the first ever surf film shot entirely in 4k. In this episode of SITDOWNS, John John shows us some exclusive footage from the film, VIEW FROM A BLUE MOON, and tells us what it’s like to shoot the most expensive surf film ever.
Ryan, Kane and David make their way from Arizona to New Mexico where they meet up with Torey Pudwill, Daniel Lutheran aka Dan Lu and Monico Candelaria. Albuquerque is known as the crown jewel of ditches so they seek out a 3 mile long drainage ditch and ride it from the base of the Sandia’s Mountains to the Rio Grande.
“After The Sky Falls” captures the skiing of Eric Pollard, Chris Benchetler and Pep Fujas. Two years in the making, the film is not an epic portrayal of the sport, but is instead an attempt to relate to and inspire everyday skiers. This film is not a dramatic narrative piece, it’s not a energy drink commercial, it’s not meant to make the skiers in the film into heros, it is simply a film that documents the Nimbus crew’s approach to skiing, and their focus on fun and creativity.
