Isn't it just fantastic. The dialogue reminds me of Trainspotting, a simple brutal honesty interwoven with images so crisp and perfectly fluid it borders on intimidating . Irish surfer Mickey Smith creates this beautiful short film as part of the Relentless Energies Short Stories Competition. Its one of those films that fills you with perspective and moments of thought spurned on by these intricate anecdotes "there may not be a future in it but at least I'm in a present worth remembering".
Smith captures the essence of the Cliffs of Moher and its wild terrain. Paying homage to the sea as he simultaneously becomes its prisoner. In interviews Smyth emphasises the solitary experience of his unusual genre and insists he his a photographer more than a surfer. Either way the imagery of the film is haunting, capturing those rare standstill moments where one truly feels part of nature.
