FEATURE FILM
Surfwise
DIRECTED BY: Doug Pray
CAST: Documentary
Like many American outsider-adventurers, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz set out to realize a manifest destiny dream. Abandoning a successful medical practice, he sought self-fulfillment by taking up the nomadic life of a surfer. But unlike other American searchers like Thoreau or Kerouac, Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for the ride. Together, they lived a life that would be unfathomable to most, but enviable to anyone who ever relinquished their dreams to a straight job.
For better or worse, the Paskowitz Family proved that America may be running out of frontier, but it hasn't run out of frontiersmen.

SHORT FILM
The Ladies
DIRECTED BY: Christina Voros
CAST: Documentary
Vali and Mimi are as close as sisters come. 75 years since the first marriage, 50 since the Hungarian revolution, and 25 since the last divorce. Who would've guessed that today they'd still be working 40 hours a week designing couture for life-long clients?
