Born to Surf : Story from Sri Lanka 2019
Показать описание
Sameera tells us about his life in Sri Lanka, Weligama. Surfing is relatively new to the Island; these kids are the first generation to be 'born' into the surf culture. A short film made over the course of one month in collaboration with @laybackweligama.

In all my years of making videos, I have always struggled to find purpose. I've mostly just focused on 'what' I am shooting, and not 'why I am shooting it'. This video is the perhaps my first one that began with 'why'. This idea has been pushed by many filmmakers, but perhaps the most by Dan Mace. This is my first attempt at putting a story first - it was a journey to say the least. After arriving in Sri Lanka, my amazing hosts at Layback Weligama, told me about a few kids who hang around the streets. Soon we met; they were all fascinated by the camera gear I had, especially Sameera. We decided that we wanted to give an insight into the lives of these young kids, through their perspective. Although a very simple life, these kids were always smiling, something many of us can learn from. The following month of shooting was a challenge, with sooo many things that went wrong. Gopro failure, wave conditions and more. Ultimately however, we were able to come up with something I am really happy with. Sameera was always so stoked to film, making my life a lot easier! Translation was also an interesting process but I think it came out well! Matt, another traveller I met allowed me to use his drone over the course of about a week! I can never thank him enough! Super super lucky to have access to a drone, it definitely helped bring the video together. Thanks Matt!! A massive thank you to Layback for hosting me and making this whole thing possible, truly grateful for everything :D Thanks Thilina, Linda and Saman! To everyone else, thank you! Especially Sameera, Chuti, Rahul, and Kashmika! See you all again soon :D
