Back in July of 2007, Jason Baffa and Mark Jeremias debuted their film, One California Day, at El Segundo High School to a packed house of people hungry to see some great surf footage.  The movie delivered great surf footage in spades featuring surfers such as the Malloy brothers, Joel Tudor, Alex Knost, and Tyler Hatzikian.  But it also gave a glimpse into the lives of the surfers themselves.  We were able to see the surfers and their other creative outlets which gave the movie its intimate perspective.

Just prior to the start of the movie, I was able to shoot the following image of Jason Baffa and Mark Jeremias along with Tyler Hatzikian, Dan Malloy, Chris Malloy, and Keith Malloy.  I shot the image using a Sinar P 4×5 view camera on Polaroid Type 55 P/N film.

That was 3 years ago.  Check out what Chris Malloy, Jeff Johnson, and Keith Malloy have been up to lately.  The world premiere of 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless was February 10, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.  See the trailer here.  It looks like an amazing film.
