About the films:

SLOMO (Short Doc Winner at 2014 SXSW Film Festival, 18 min)

Depressed and frustrated with his life, Dr. John Kitchin abandons his career as
a neurologist and moves to Pacific Beach. There, he undergoes a radical
transformation into SLOMO, trading his lab coat for a pair of rollerblades and
his IRA for a taste of divinity.



NORTH OF THE SUN (46 min)

Inge Wegge (25) and Jørn Ranum (22) spent nine months of cold, Norwegian winter
in the isolated and uninhabited bay of a remote, arctic island by the coast of
Northern-Norway, facing nothing but the vast Atlantic Ocean. There they built a
cabin out of driftwood and other cast-off materials that washed up on shore,
and ate expired food the stores would otherwise have thrown away. But the boys
brought with them two items of utmost importance: Their surfboards - perhaps
their biggest motivation for the arctic adventure. Because the remote bay holds
a well kept secret; Some of the worlds finest surfing waves.



CHASING WATER (19 min)

Photojournalist Peter McBride sets out to document the flow of the Colorado
River from source to sea. A Colorado native, McBride hails from a ranching
family that depends on the Colorado for irrigation, and this is the story of
his backyard. His simple desire is to find out where the irrigation water of
his youth went after his family used it, and how long it took the water to
reach the ocean. His experience, however, is not so straightforward, analogous,
perhaps, to tracking down a special friend from childhood—one who was always
full of vitality—only to find her utterly changed and diminished. Writer John
Waterman joins McBride on this 1,500-mile journey, one that shows how the
thirst of the 30 million that the Colorado supports takes a unhealthy toll.
