NEW TRALIER RELEASED FOR THE SPLINTERS DOCUMENTRY

A few year back i was sent into the deep dark jungle to work on an ongoing documentary about the evolution of indigenous surfing in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea.

SPLINTERS is the first feature-length documentary film about the evolution of indigenous surfing in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea.

In the 1980s an intrepid Australian pilot left behind a surfboard in the seaside village of Lido. Twenty years on, surfing is not only a pillar of village life but also a means to prestige. With no access to economic or educational advancement, let alone running water and power, village life is hermetic.

A spot on the Papua New Guinea national surfing team is the way to see the wider world; the only way.

SPLINTERS is currently in post-production and produced by In Effect Films, an independent production company located in Los Angeles, California.
