Storm Surfers 3D wins International 3D Society award

Australian documentary Storm Surfers 3D has won the International 3D Society's award for most outstanding achievement in a 3D documentary.

Storm Surfers 3D producer Ellenor Cox said that director Christopher Nelius was on the red carpet to accept the prize at the prestigious awards.

"To put this in context, Ang Lee was there to accept the award for Most Outstanding Achievement in a Feature Film for Life of Pi and we beat massive budget IMAX projects, the James Cameron-produced Cirque du Soleil documentary and Katy Perry's Part of Me."

Storm Surfers 3D previously received the 2012 AACTA Award for Best Feature Length Documentary and the 2013 Surfworld International Surf Film Festival's Peter Troy 'Spirit' Award.

Storm Surfers 3D, narrated by Toni Collette, follows two best friends, Aussie tow-surfing legend Ross Clarke-Jones and two-time world champion Tom Carroll, on their quest to hunt down and ride the biggest and most dangerous waves in Australia.

The feature documentary grossed more than $660,000 at Australian cinemas in 2012.
