FINDING GERRY
The documentary of a journey from San Diego to Oregon in search of a surf legend that can be found in the mountains.
IT’S ABOUT THE JOURNEY
The SHACC and MAKE.BELIEVE.PICTURES are going to hit the road together to discover where Gerry Lopez is living now.
Why is the surf legend now living in Oregon, what took him from the tropical waves to the Pacific Northwest, and what will happen on the road while we go up the coast that holds the most amount of surf spots than any other stretch on earth. These are the questions we will ask ourselves and others as we take an entertaining and slightly humorous journey to find out why Gerry now lives in the mountains. And no matter what the destination reveals, it will be (as it always has been) about the journey!
GERRY LOPEZ
Gerry Lopez is a legendary surfer and actor known for his iconic tube rides and influential role in popularizing the sport of surfing.
WE’VE DONE THIS BEFORE
We have experience with documenting such journeys and campaigns such as these. Check out this piece we did for CITGO, traveling across the country with a branded truck, some cameras, open hearts to adventure and the power of story.
THE AIRSTREAM
The vehicle is the destination ALONG the journey. Having the airstream on the road not only makes for some interesting stories but also allows us to open up “shop” along the journey with bringing history to the people, expands the SHACC brand on another level, as well as have surfboards and everything else in tow for experiences that make what really matters, great stories.
