74 minutes – 2016 (USA) – VOSTFR
Trailer : https://vimeo.com/188804215

Given is the simple yet powerfully contemplative story of a unique family legacy come full circle.

Told through the visceral experience of a 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations.

Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy’s understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature.

Deeply moving, Given gives us the humbling contrast of a small voice voyaging through a big world as it finds its way home again.

FISHPEOPLE
50 minutes – 2017 (USA) – VOSTFR
Trailer : https://youtu.be/jmw1h0dqR0A
Directed by Keith Malloy

Fishpeople tells the stories of a unique cast of characters who have dedicated their lives to the sea.

The film features Eddie Donnellan of MeWater Foundation, endurance swimmer Lynne Cox, diver Kimi Werner, and surfers Matahi Drollet and Dave Rastovich.

"For each of us, it's our own private church, our own private temple.

It soothed pains that are real," Dave contemplates the power and purpose of the ocean.

Fishpeople is a film about the transformative effects of time spent in the ocean—and how we can leave our limitations behind to find deeper meaning in the saltwater wilderness that lies just beyond the shore.

Starring:

Dave Rastovich (surfer), Matahi Drollet (surfer / fisherman), Lynne Cox (open water swimmer), Ray Collins - Photographer (photographer), Eddie Donnellan (youth educator) and Kimi Werner (harpoon fisher).
