How a Surfing Injury, Warning From Chris Rock and Deadly Shark Attack Shaped ‘SURFILMUSIC’ Documentary (EXCLUSIVE) The documentary "SURFILMUSIC," directed by Emmett Malloy, has been making waves on the festival circuit and is set to hit theaters nationwide on June 5.
While it's easy to get caught up in the nostalgia and camaraderie that permeate the film, a closer look reveals an unflinching portrayal of genuine friendship amidst the cutthroat world of show business.
The film's narrative thread is woven from rare footage of Johnson's surf films made as a teenager with Malloy, juxtaposed with present day scenes of their North Shore crew reminiscing about old times.
