 Australia, Micronesia, Hawaii, El Salvador, Mexico, Indonesia, 2010, 55min
Director: Jamie O’Brien
Cast: Jamie O’Brien and other mullets
Big ego, massive talent. Who is Jamie O'Brien? He starts off his film with a diatribe against the surf industry. He rips into surf politics. He burns the ASP rule book. Maverick, angry young man. If you follow him on Twitter, you’ll know it. But he’s riding his own wave. Admire his brutal assault on life. Do you dig sick slabs and pure adrenalin? Dig this film. Dik airs, giant backside hacks, and barrels big enough to blast out a Lloyds' shipping container. Three years of filming in Tahiti, Mexico, Indo and Hawaii. Kiff music score. Driving Miss Crazy. Mullet mayhem!
 Australia, Hawaii, Indo, SA 2010 Video, 55min
Director: Matt Beauchesne
Cast: Julian Wilson
Julian Wilson goes to Indo with Dusty Payne, Dane Reynolds, and Taj Burrow, a "good crew". And with continued understatement, we gorge on modern surf porn sublime, a hour's overdose of pure, intravaneous surf stoke that will leave you twitching uncontrollably, bloodshot eyes quivering with synaptic overflow. Shot entirely in HD, with the dope Phantom Cam in Hawaii, Indo, South Africa and West Oz, this is new age surfing and filmmaking fused at the lip. They say the overhead helicopter shot 17 minutes into the film is the best surf clip ever. You decide. Brain Farm Cinema brings pioneering surf filmmaking from copter cams to housing heaven. Seeing is believing.
