What is “The Old, the Young & the Sea”?
It’s surf and life. Check out our photo gallery and you’ll notice: it’s not just pro surfers – it’s a broad of mixture just about everyone you would meet on a surf trip… There are fishermen in Galicia, street artists in Bilbao, scientists from Asturias, free surfers in Biarritz, activists from San Sebastian, politicians in Portugal and travelers who met the team multiple times at different locations. What our characters have in common: It’s people that love the sea, some protect it, some even dedicated their life to it.
Long story short: It’s a filmic and photographic portrait of the atlantic coast from the perspective of sea lovers.
The final movie will be released 2013.
