The Present (due out digitally June 16th, and on CD on July 7th) is the 3rd and newest film from Thomas Campbell, acclaimed
surf movie director of The Seedling and Sprout. The Present is yet another look into the wide-ranging possibilities of accessing the surfing experience, with a multi-cultural, diverse surf craft and wide range of surfers.

Featuring Dave Rastovich, Dane Reynolds, Joel Tudor, Chelsea Hedges, Kassia Meador, Harrison Roach, Dan Malloy, Devon Howard, C.J. Nelson, Ry Craike, Jacob Stuth, Sofi a Mulanovich, Chris Del Moro, Michel Junod, Ian King, Danny Hess, Alex Knost, and Rob Machado among others.

Carroll and David Rastovich), Japanese Motors, Gabor Szabo, Ray Barbee & The Mattson 2, Jeff Parker, and Tommy Guerrero.  You can find more info and the trailer to the film here.





180 South (due out this fall) is the long awaited new film from the Malloys.  It follows the 2008 trip of a group of surfers and outdoorsmen as they retrace the steps of Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins’ 1968 trip to Patagonia, Chile.
