A pleasant surprise
Release Date: 2010/04/09
The buzzed about surf film, A Pleasant Surprise, makes its way to DVD after a wildly successful world premiere at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, a sold out screening at the New York Surf Film Festival & successful screenings in Philadelphia and Long Beach Island. The film, a collaboration between cinematographer Kyle Pahlow & creative director Nick Zegel, offers an honest look at the talents of a select group of surfers who live in a truly special part of the United States. Almost three years in the making, A Pleasant Surprise documents a world of contrast as daily changes in weather and waves prove to be all part of a larger picture; thumping beach breaks, cold water, and quick tropical storms are just a fraction of what you will find. A Pleasant Surprise is a timeless, action-packed surf film, delivering a genuine look into New Jerseys surf culture. A Pleasant Surprise is the first full length film from Cinematographer Kyle Pahlow. The impressive soundtrack features original compositions from New York based Las Flores Project and singer/songwriter Brian Parnagian. Indie acts Yeasayer, Here We Go Magic, Moondoggies, School of Seven Bells, & White Williams expose viewers to new sounds that compliment the films genuine and organic nature. The surf talent includes Ian Bloch, Ryan Daly, Luke Ditella, Andrew Gesler, Sam Hammer, Zach Humphries, Rob Kelly, Chris Kelly, Matt Keenan, Ben McBrien, Jamie Moran, Tom Petriken, Randy Townsend & Brendan Willem. Voiceover Interviews with Rob Kelly, Randy Townsend, Brendan Willem, Jamie Moran, & Matt Keenan. DVD bonus materials include Director Commentary featuring Cinematographer Kyle Pahlow & Creative Director Nick Zegel; Behind-The-Scenes a look into the making of the film.
