Jersey Bros Surf Film

I'll throw down the 9 bucs to check this out.At least its about here...

 

Can you post the trailer Matt?

What is he standing on in the picture? Ain't got them 'round my parts.

 

Im thinking runnoff pipes or serwage pipes.Just a guest thou

 

there is finally another decent film out there bout the east coast along with patience

 

nice looking cinematography and music, but with all the nice surf we had this past summer you figure the trailer would show off some of the bigger surf we saw. The trailer didn't do it justice.

 

I agree with firewire... I think the cinematography and editing is very well done. If you read his website, he says, "Jersey never gets any respect. It’s an old joke", and I think that comes from people showing not so good surfing or waves, just like this trailer does. But if you continue to read on, he isn't trying to show how good Jersey gets, but rather the life of typical NJ surfers. I think the idea is awesome and should come out good..but at the same time... I think there should be better waves/surfing show in the film.

 

don't get me wrong, i'm interested in the film, but i hope there's more to it than a day of crappy wind swell and weekend warriors.

I also heard Rob Kelly's name announced at the competition, so hopefully there's some of the pro's from NJ along with epic days documented too.

 

Sh

anything shot in Stone Harbor?

 

video looks like its gonna be a big steaming pile of turds

 

The surf and surfing were ass and so was the music which = a steaming pile of turds

 

The point of the movie is to suck


cape gay sucks big time wow it gets good for a half a day maybe 4 times a year and then the tide ruins it

 

Setting The Record Straight

A friend was reading the recent thread concerning Jersey Bros and I thought I'd set the record straight.

So, a little info. I'm David McCarty, the filmmaker behind Jersey Bros. Most of what was said was accurate in that this is a film more about Jersey Surfers than Jersey Surfing. That said, the clips floating around were just random stuff. I'm not posting my film online before I release it.

To date, I have not yet released a trailer. Because of the nature of the film (there is a lot of interview footage), I wanted more footage to give the trailer a sense of scope. I may end up shooting specific scenes in order to create a trailer, though. I'm considering it.

I have been shooting all my surfing footage from land and even with good lenses, it's harder to make look great. I'm investing in underwater gear this Spring which will truly make a huge difference to the look of the film.

Finally, while I began filming friends and local spots, I've begun moving beyond South Jersey and have people coming out of the woodwork, asking me to come shoot their favorite spot, 70-year-old still surfing father, etc.... Plus I have several national sponsors interested in the film and I will be shooting many of their surfers.

Some names that I've shot or who have agreed to be shot for the film are: Dean Randazzo, Rob and Chris Kelly, Andrew Gesler, Jaime Moran, Sam Hammer....and others.

So for those concerned that the film will just be kooks on softtops, making Jersey look even worse, I assure you, it will not be. While I am not interested in making yet another surf porn, killer surfing on great waves is a must.

Thanks for your support.

 

David, thanks for the post. I just to want you to know by the look of that film that it was shot top notch. I really liked the lighting and color of the film. It was very appealing and drew me in. If i had the chance I would watch the documentary all the way through and accept it for what is it is and isn't. I see the point of the documentary, surfers and not the surf. I hope the best for you and can't wait to see it.

I would however like to see some real tasty epic jersey, but I realize that a film like that would take a few years to accumulate the necessary footage for s film like that to be made. I hope that your next documentary is something in that direction. good luck!.
