Second generation surfing documentarian
Dana Brown (son to
Bruce Brown, who directed
The Endless Summer 2) strikes out with his own original piece of filmmaking with his 2003 ode to the world's surfing enthusiasts entitled
Step Into Liquid. Part travelogue, and part attempt to redefine surfing's image,
Brown travels to some of the ordinary surfing locales -- such as Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States -- as well as some rather unexpected ones, including the west coast of Wisconsin on Lake Michigan to Easter Island to a secular surfing school in Ireland. While in these diverse locations,
Brown interviews the numerous souls whose lives have been taken over by the lure of surfing, ranging from seasoned professionals to casual hobbyists, in an attempt to dispel the myth of surfers being perpetually stoned slackers.
Step Into Liquid was selected to screen at a handful of film festivals in 2003, including the
Nodance Film Festival in Park City, UT.
