SURFILMUSIC Official Trailer Release

We’re thrilled to finally share the official trailer for a project we’ve had in the works this past year with Brushfire Films and Director, Emmett Malloy

SURFILMUSIC revisits the era that shaped Jack Johnson’s creative life, tracing his evolution from surfer to filmmaker to musician. Centered on the making of Thicker Than Water and The September Sessions, the documentary explores how these films created with friends like Kelly Slater, Rob Machado , and the Malloy brothers redefined modern surf storytelling and revealed Jack’s emerging artistic voice. Through remastered footage and new reflections from the original crew, the film highlights the ocean driven community and collaborative spirit that quietly sparked Jack’s music career and continues to influence his work and values today.

It’s been a real pleasure to work with such a great group of folks including editor, Nico Toll , archive producer, Wyatt Daily, and Producer, Daniel Pappas.

Further details on the documentary and its soundtrack will be announced next year. Stay tuned!
