View from a Blue Moon (2015)
17KView from a Blue Moon: Directed by Blake Kueny. With Greyson Fletcher, Alex Florence, Ivan Florence, John John Florence. The first surf film shot in 4K, View From A Blue Moon follows the world’s most dynamic surfer John Florence and his closest friends from his home on the North Shore of Oahu to his favorite surfing destinations around the globe. From the dreamy blue perfection of the South Pacific to the darkest uncharted waters of Africa (and everywhere in between), Florence faces a broad spectrum of emotions as he continues to seal his legacy as one of the most gifted surfers ever. And while the young Hawaiian is pulled in increasingly different directions, there is no form of pressure that will keep him from his ultimate goal – to redefine what is possible in the ocean.
“Like All Brain Farm releases- its Just Pretty Pictures..Nothing Else. We know Florence surfs..and…what else?? Thatu0026#39;s it..nothing more? Why even make a film. There is no story and you learn Nothing about the person being filmed. Any ambition in life beyond the self absorbed selfish surfing lifestyle. what about his family- father/mother,siblings, his friends his girlfriend, boyfriend, kids, his competitors? great filmmaking is much more than just pretty pictures. Someday a young extreme athlete will be brave and honest enough to open up their entire life to a filmmaker. Florence is obviously not that athlete and it will take more talented filmmakers than the gear obsessed dudes at Brain Farm to pull it off. This is just an expensive surfing highlights promo reel. Weu0026#39;ve all seem this a zillion times before,,,just the face has changed on the north shore.”
