Scratching the Surface (2010)
What:
Greenhouse Boardshop Presents the world premier of Scratching the Surface (2010), a high definition trip into the life of one of the worlds most exciting surfers Friday, September 10 at Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St in Arcata. Doors open at 7 p.m. and movie starts at 9:30 p.m. Cost is $5, is rated R, all ages and a benefit for Surfrider Humboldt and Arcata Skate Park Phase II.
Directed by Matt Beauchesne at Irons Brothers Productions, “Scratching the Surface” documents the adventures of Julian, along with friends and fellow professionals Dane Reynolds, Taj Burrow, Dusty Payne, Mick Fanning and others as they spend a year hitting some of the world’s most beautiful surf spots. Destinations include South Africa, Australia, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, California, Hawaii, France, Spain and Brazil. A large part of the film was also shot in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia on a boat trip with Dane, Dusty and Taj. “Scratching The Surface” also teamed Julian and Matt with Brain Farm Cinema, whose goal was to evolve the way surf films are made by utilizing helicopters and The Phantom Camera, shooting entirely in HD, and incorporating an energetic and unique soundtrack. To get an early peek of this groundbreaking film, the “Scratching The Surface” trailer and webisodes can be viewed at www.julianwilson.com.
“Our goal with this film was to be creative, have fun, and enjoy capturing what it is like to be Julian Wilson,” says Matt Beauchesne. “Julian has a bright and vibrant personality that we wanted to carry over into the film’s overall feel. He is living every kid’s dream and we wanted to shoot this film through his eyes.”
