Bending Colours - Red Bull
A production of Red Bull Media House realized by Kai Neville Studio, and supported by O'Neill. Bending Colours takes a distorted look at professional surfer Jordy Smith, changing the audience's perspective on what form a surfing film can take. Filmed on location in Indonesia, Australia, Cape Town South Africa, Reunion, Tahiti, Puerto Rico, France, and Hawaii. Red Bull Media House and Kai Neville Studio dissolve perceptions of movement on the superhighway of performance surfing. Bending Colours is the year-long journey of surfing icon Jordy Smith, one of those rare athletes who delivers on the promises he offered as a teenage prodigy.
Dear Suburbia,
Filmed on location in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the Caribbean, Dear Suburbia, is the latest release from Kai Neville and is the follow up to his previous films Modern Collective and Lost Atlas. It is a high-performance, location-based surf film set against exotic landscapes, objects and personalities juxtaposed with the traditions of suburban life. Spontaneity versus routine. The unknown versus the familiar. An interpretation of our lifestyle, culture, riding waves, traveling the world — a pirouette into the absurdity of it all. The result is a graceful, often schizophrenic glimpse at modern life with a surfboard and a passport.
Modern Collective
The future is now. A collective of six surfers set out on a voyage to their perception of modern day surfing. Forget pre-dawn charging. Forget golden lighting. Forget glassy waters. They ignore perfect pointbreaks in favor of chunky onshore wedges. This is about high performance, state of the art, modern as hell... Onshore=keepers. Follow these vogue individuals and obtain a candid look at what a session is actually like with the worlds best. The future has already happened, you will just be watching the replay. Starring Dane Reynolds, Dion Agius, Yadin Nicol, Mitch Coleborn, Dusty Payne and Jordy Smith.
