Really awesome indie soundtrack to a new surf movie.
"The Present is the 3rd and newest film from Thomas Campbell, acclaimed surf
movie director of The Seedling and Sprout. The Present is yet another look
into the wide ranging possibilities of accessing the surfing experience, with
a multi-cultural, diverse surf craft and wide range of surfers. Shot
primarily in 16mm film on location in West Africa, Australia, New Zealand,
Hawaii, California, Sumatra, Java, and Peru. Featuring Dave Rastovich, Dane
Reynolds, Joel Tudor, Chelsea Hedges, Kassia Meador, Harrison Roach, Dan
Malloy, Devon Howard, C. J. Nelson, Ry Craike, Jacob Stuth, Sofia Mulanovich,
Chris Del Moro, Michel Junod, Ian King, Danny Hess, Alex Knost, and Rob
Machado among others. With music by; David Axelrod, Bonnie Prince Billy, Mice
Parade, The Mattson 2, Cass McCombs, Plants and Animals, Vetiver, The
Photographic, Ndabva Kure (featuring Shannon Sol R. Carroll and David
Rastovich), Japanese Motors, Gabor Szabo, Ray Barbee & The Mattson 2, Jeff
Parker, and Tommy Guerrero. Thomas Campbell is a self-taught painter,
photographer, filmmaker, and writer. He spends most of his time traversing
the globe on surf trips, making films and shooting photographs, but maintains
a small painting studio in Santa Cruz, California. Campbell's artworks
combine scribbles and scriptures, taking slogans and anecdotes from his
unique vocabulary and juxtaposing them with a profound look at human nature.
His movementoriented paintings are as layered with meaning as they are with
paint. The works, typically composed of several panels, are free-flowing with
wide expressionist swipes of color, bold graphics and intricate renderings of
characters and text. His photographs mimic the intensity of the paintings,
yet in a more abstract fashion. Black and white documentary works are grouped
with images of blurred, vibrant details of life. Campbell has mounted solo
exhibitions in New York, Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Morocco. In
1999, he completed his first feature length surfing film, The Seedling, in
2004 released his second, Sprout. He is currently touring with his newest
film The Present. He is also creative director for a small, independent
record label, Galaxia, which has released records by contemporary artists
Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee, Peggy Honeywell and Black Heart Procession."
