Living on the outskirts of the modern world, down here in Nayarit, I gave up cool things like Tivo, Netflix and book/record stores. So every now and then, when I travel back to LA, I load up on the good things like surfing videos. On my latest trip to LA, I brought back Thomas Campbell’s Sprout and The Malloy Brothers’ A Broke Down Melody. I loved both films and related strongly to the aesthetics of both. Sprout’s longboard heaven mixed with street-art interludes and Melody’s saturated slo-moe’d soft-edged sun-burnt glow. perfect for an early to bed, no surf day, down here in low tech paradise.
one of these days I’d love to get a 16mm film camera.
