Beginners – A Mike Mills film

new film from Mike Mills.

just the typography alone made me want to see this film. view the trailer nice n big over here

The short film THE END IS THERE began as a personal return on investment analysis of weekend summer surf in Montauk. Shot entirely on an iPhone, the footage catalogs the weekend waves at Ditch Plains Beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day 2010. Within the course of the summer the project evolved into a video back-drop for a dialogue between NYC transplant, Moose Huerta and Montauk local, Grant Monahan. The two were introduced through the recent passing of their mutual friend Andy Kessler. During the film they discuss and theorize the right and wrong ways to assimilate into a tight knit coastal community.

“THE END IS THERE” will be premiering on September 26th at the 2010 New York Surf Film Festival. Tickets can be purchased at Tribeca Cinemas or on their website.

I’m particularly interested in the ‘alienation’ aspects of this film. How making your own (hastly prepared) craft and living off the grid, even for just a few days can psychologically cut you off from society. but maybe i’m reading too far into the synopsis above. either way, stoked to see this film, especially for its (non-surfcore mainstreamy) examination of all the juicy breaks in the SD area.
