The Greatest Surf Movie in the Universe to world premiere at Waurn Ponds

LOCALS will have a chance to catch the world premiere of Garage Entertainment and Madman’s newest high-energy surf film The Greatest Surf Movie In The Universe at Waurn Ponds cinema next week.

Featuring a rainbow-coloured carpet, equally colourful photo walls and inflatable unicorns to meet the movie’s artistic direction, the film will roll into Waurn Ponds on Monday, April 3 for its international debut, with the stars of the film, filmmakers and writers set to make an appearance to celebrate the special occasion.

Starring three-time surfing champion Mick Fanning, Luke Hemsworth, Mason Ho, Griffin Colapinto, Jack Freestone, Matt Wilkinson, Craig Anderson, Joe Turpel, and Ronnie Blakey, the film is set to combine adult comedy with futuristic motion animation and stunning ocean cinematography.

Directors and writers Nick Pollet and Vaughan Blakey’s story sees the world’s collective knowledge of surfing completely wiped after a successful vaccination scheme.

Facing an unintended consequence, the surf god Huey makes a last-ditch effort to save surfing and enlists Mick Fanning to put a team of former surfing champions together to save it from extinction.

With life like figurines and voice overs performed by the athletes, director Nick Pollet said the film was sure to make people laugh.

“I had so much fun making this film and I have a good feeling people will have just as much fun watching it.

“What started off as a passion project, all shot in my garage, snowballed into the biggest achievement of my career so far.

“Working alongside two of my best mates, Vaughan Blakey (co-writer/director) and Alain de Carne (original music score), along with Bronte Pictures, The Post Lounge and the best cast I could have ever asked for, we were able to achieve something far beyond what I thought possible.

“I just want this film to make people laugh and feel happy.”

Alongside potentially meeting the stars of the film, locals will also be able to participate in a Q& A after the screening with directors Nick Pollet and Vaughan Blakey.
