Space

About This Movie

So, there's this short film called "Space," and it's got John John Florence at the center of it. The cinematography by Erik Knutson really captures the vibe of the ocean – it’s almost meditative in a way. The pacing is more like a flowing wave than a quick surf, giving you a sense of being there with him between Western Australia and Hawaii. The editing by Blake Vincent Kueny is subtle, letting the visuals speak rather than overwhelming you with quick cuts. What really stands out is the atmosphere; it feels like a love letter to the ocean and the surfing lifestyle. The practical effects and the raw beauty of the locations make it distinctive. It’s not just about surfing; it’s about connection, both with the sea and oneself.

This short film has a niche appeal, particularly among surf enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the art of surfing on film. While it may not be widely circulated, it captures an authentic slice of surfing culture that’s hard to find elsewhere. The blend of locations and talent behind the lens makes it an interesting piece for those who value unique cinematography in extreme sports. There’s a certain charm in its scarcity, appealing to those who are always on the hunt for lesser-known gems in surf cinema.
