Follow on Google News | “A Deeper Shade of Blue” Brings Greatest Surfing Story Ever Told to ChillPremium digital entertainment platform Chill.com to distribute the film exclusively for digital download starting Wednesday, May 16
By: New World Distribution McCoy, producer of numerous epic surfing films for the last 40 years, has created his most iconic picture yet with “A Deeper Shade of Blue,” a film that explores the nature of the sport, its roots, the history of surfing culture and the technology of the surfboard. The film features international surf stars Jamie O’Brien, Stephanie Gilmore, The Marshall Brothers, Manoa Drollet, Jordy Smith and Derek Hynd. A Deeper Shade of Blue also includes the story of the integral role two female surfers played in the sports rise to worldwide fame — Hawaiian Princess Kaiulani, who resurrected surfing in the late 1800s and Malibu surfing legend Kathy Kohner aka “Gidget,” who brought surfing to the masses in the late 1950s. The film also features the Queen of Makaha, Rell Sunn, who was the first female lifeguard in Hawaii and started the Women’s Professional Surfing Association. “It’s an incredible honor to bring my latest love letter to the sport and culture of surfing to the surfing community through Chill,” said filmmaker/director Jack McCoy. Surf enthusiasts will dive in as they experience McCoy’s innovative videography that captures stunning underwater imagery using an underwater jet ski. The film brings together surfers and surfboard builders across the history of the sport from its inception in Hawaii, to the wave pools and tow-assisted big wave riding of today. Featured surfers share their stories, waves and magical connection to a common culture that’s rooted in the Hawaiian tradition of Aloha and is now a global phenomenon. "I first saw Jack’s work when it was sent to me by a friend of mine, the Producer Chris Thomas, and I was blown away with the stunning spectacle of Jack’s work,” said Sir Paul McCartney. “Now that I’ve gotten to know him, I enjoy what he does even more and value greatly his contribution to the world of surfing." The film is also offering exclusive merchandise “bundles” with digital purchase of the film from sponsors House of Marley, SolShop.com and Brand West Surfing Products.
