Melali: The Drifter Sessions

Indonesia, 2010, HD Video, 34 minDirector: Rob MachadoCast: Rob Machado, Dane Reynolds, Kelly Slater, Mike Lossness, Shane Dorian, and more A backlit green screen. Sparkling, sun washed barrels glide before your rheumy wind-flushed eyes. Pigdog silouettes tease the edges of your consciousness while your mind wonders in rhythm to the original music score by Rob Machado and his muso mates. When he was in Indo shooting the Drifter, which imposed a script and a story upon the audience, they shot gigabytes of pure, distilled surfing in Indo’s metonymically perfect peelers. Their subjects? The most innovative tube riders the world has seen set to the kiff music of a multi-talented bunch of people. They took3 the best of the rest, and produced a tightly edited film.
