Innersection Maui First Light Screening
|
November 24, 2010 | 02:07 PM When brilliant filmmaker Taylor Steele and senior editor of Surfing Magazine Nathan Myers team to host a surf video contest, neither the resulting film nor its process is piddly. Through five rigorous rounds, thousands of surfers and filmmakers submitted two-to-three minute segments, vying for audience approval and a spot in the film Innersection: Blue. Twenty-five winners were chosen by popular vote, and two of them—Clay Marzo and Matt Meola (with "filmers" Adam Klevin and Elliot Leboe, respectively)—are Maui's own. Even after they'd won, the winners again took to the waves and reels, and some "surprised [us] with 100 percent new footage," says Meyer. "We're writing you from deep in the edit cave now," Meyers says in an October 26 innersection.tv post. "Midnight oil. Hammer and a blowtorch. We're getting medieval on this thing." Now complete, 30 simultaneous "Black Friday" world-premiers are slated across the globe—and First Light's got one of 'em, with Marzo and Meola serving as hosts. The boys will be signing autographs and doling out tons of giveaways (including an SOS surfboard)—but the biggest prize remains, potentially, for one of them: the DVD of Innersection will hit surf shops on November 27, packaged with a unique card/code that will allow the holder to vote for the surfer with the best section, and the winner gets a cool $100,000. So let's do that math again: two masterminds behind production, five rigorous rounds of competition, 25 winners, 30 simultaneous world-premiers and $100,000 on the line. Whew. That equals, like, infinity awesome. 242-7469, 579-9244; mauiarts.org, mauifilmfestival.com
