Opening August 8, 2003
An Artisan Pictures Release
While
it's true that Dana Brown, the
director of STEP INTO LIQUID, is indeed
the son of Bruce Brown, director of the
"The Endless Summer," to say the son's
film picks up where the father's left off
does not quite do either movie justice.
Grossing over $100 million in the 40
years it's been on the planet, "The
Endless Summer" will always be a
classic. But by using up-to-the-minute
technology, sharp editing and
awards-caliber cinematography to
present extraordinary subjects in
mind-boggling locations, the younger
Brown's film embraces and celebrates the global surfing culture while managing to also deliver moments of real intimacy. STEP INTO LIQUID takes us from the truly terrifying monstrous waves of Oahu's North Shore to the Texas waters of the Gulf of Mexico (where waves are created by massive oil supertankers) to the shores of Ireland and Rapa Nui. Along the way, we discover unforgettable human stories, from a guy who's surfed every single day for the last 27 years to a young, inspirational surfer just getting back in the water in spite of a surfing accident that's left him paralyzed from the neck down. A true audience-pleaser, STEP INTO LIQUID is at once profoundly moving and profoundly entertaining.
