Thomas Campbell’s new film “The Present”

Thomas Campbell, hipster-savant of west coast surf art, begins touring his new film, “The Present” this March, hitting San Francisco on the weekend of March 27-28. The film is a follow-up to his releases “The Seedling” (1999) and “Sprout” (2004). Campbell’s artistic and philosophical style contrasts the paradigm of low-fi, quick cut surf films that have dominated the surf film-video genre since Taylor Steele’s release of “Momentum” in 1991. The cast features a wide-range of surfers from cross-steppers Kassia Meador and Alex Knost to new school proponents like Chelsea Georgenson Hedges and Ry Craike.

There are two showings.. One in San Fran and the other in Santa Cruz.
