TO BE FRANK – Short film
DIRECTED BY:Anna Wilder Burns
PRODUCED BY: Morgan Sliff
To Be Frank explores authenticity and community in surfing via Frank Paine, a 73-year-old South Bay icon and humble local legend whose life orbits around a two-block stretch of beach. His unforgettable mustache and magnetic spirit are what most first notice, but Frank’s deeper layers expose a depth that might answer some questions that us surfers continually ask ourselves. Surfing, which, for some, becomes lost in isolation, is made whole again with Frank — welcoming, inspiring, kind and committed, with an unwavering passion centered on and springing from Hermosa Beach’s beloved shores.

TRILOGY: NEW WAVE
Three elite surfers – Griffin Colapinto, Ethan Ewing and Seth Moniz – travel to eight remote destinations searching for pristine waves and an escape from the stress of constant competition. As they travel and catch waves in these remote beaches, they are reminded of the importance of balancing their careers alongside their desire to rediscover the joy of surfing free from competition scores. With a mesmerizing mix of big waves, big tricks, and telling the stories of these three surfers before and after their winning titles, TRILOGY shares the bond they’ve built through surfing and the balance between making their hobby a career.
