Mooney has been workin’ on a film… This is all we know of it.
”James Kinnaird had a month off from his usual job filming the rippy crew. So we decided to get away from home and find some waves. We went to Indo, to WA, to a hoax Tassie swell, back to Indo then home for the last week… A month of travel in all, and some ok footage which made us think… ‘What the fuck do we do with this?’… Nobody will buy it?… The only other option was to get a few clips on a covermount and be forgotten in a week when the next one comes out? We thought ‘lets see if we can make something interesting and hopefully be remembered for two weeks’… There’s a bunch of acting to tell a story which involves rocket ships, far away planets, mythical waves and giant birds, plus a bit of surfing that chimes in with the story… So if you hate acting and shit acting at that, you will hate this...We wrote and shot the whole movie (which is based around a secret RCJ lets me in on) before we had even spoke to Ross and thank the lords he agreed otherwise everything we shot would have been useless. We told Brad Gerlach that Ross was in on it and his acting had already been shot and he reluctantly agreed. He was soon was followed by Laurie Towner, Ace Buchan, Hoyo, Dom Wills and even master shaper Bill Cilia.” AM
Keep your eyes out for this when it hits the stands on the cover of Waves
”The left and the right had hardly been surfed before us and they were both in the middle of the jungle. We had to trek a few kilometers to get to the right… We ate fresh fish on the beach out of banana leaves and said to each other about 1000 times… “ahhh we’re livin!” AM
