AM Surf Edit - Visions Featuring Dave Kelly by Christian Habberstad
I decided to go a different route and highlight the creativity of surf culture through a mini documentary about a water-housing craftsman. The film is unreleased to the public. I shot and edited the entire piece, with the exception of the opening FPV drone shot, which was captured by Riley Jord, and the archive footage provided by Dave Kelly. It was filmed on location in Australia and Hawaii. I have obtained proper licensing for the music from the necessary record labels. Thank you for supporting up-and-coming filmmakers with contests like this.
