Press Release from Storm Surfers 3D

Couple this with the Australian DVD release today and a standing ovation at the film’s USA premiere at the Santa Barbara film festival over the weekend and this all adds up to one fantastic week for the Storm Surfers team!

The hit Aussie movie Storm Surfers 3D has received the highest honours possible on an international and a domestic level in the past week.

In Hollywood last night Storm Surfers 3D was honoured at the International 3D Society annual awards for most outstanding achievement in a 3D documentary in 2012. This is an incredible achievement given the massive budget films that Storm Surfers 3D was up against and is a testament to the ground-breaking technical achievement of both our camera team and Deluxe’s post production crew.

Domestically Storm Surfers 3D picked up the most coveted industry accolade at the AACTAs (Australian Academy of Cinema, Television, Arts) awards when it took out the ‘Best Feature Length Documentary’ category.

The film was also honoured this week at the 2013 Surfworld International Surf Film Festival when it received the major prize of the Peter Troy ‘Spirit’ Award.

At Storm Surfers 3D’s USA red carpet premiere at the Arlington Centre’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival the film not only received a standing ovation but has been described by the Hollywood Reporter ‘as the best surf film since Step Into Liquid)

Following on from its Australian 2012 box office success, Madman Entertainment have today released the DVD, 2D & 3D Blu-Ray and Digital version of the film for Australian audiences keen to either revisit the adventure film of year or for those who missed it at the cinemas. The DVD is just a few clicks away at www.stormsurfers.com.au

Narrated by Toni Collette, STORM SURFERS is an epic, real-life adventure following two best friends on their quest to hunt down and ride the biggest and most dangerous waves in Australia. Aussie tow-surfing legend Ross Clarke-Jones and two-time world champion Tom Carroll enlist the help of surf forecaster Ben Matson and together they track and chase giant storms across the Great Southern Ocean.

Over one big-wave winter season in 2011 the team experience the brutal force of Mother Nature, score the waves of a lifetime and come close to death, before embarking on an expedition to surf a mythical wave that has never before been ridden. Seventy-five kilometres from land lies a secret reef known as Turtle Dove Shoal – and so begins a mission far beyond anything they have ever attempted in their lives…
