About Step Into Liquid

By using up-to-the-minute technology, sharp editing and awards-caliber cinematography to present extraordinary subjects in mind-boggling locations, Step Into Liquid embraces and celebrates the global surfing culture while managing to also deliver moments of real intimacy. The film takes viewers from the truly terrifying monstrous waves of Oahu's North Shore to the Texas waters of the Gulf of Mexico (where waves are created by massive oil supertankers) to the shores of Ireland and Rapa Nui. Along the way, viewers discover unforgettable human stories, from a man who's surfed every single day for the last 27 years to a young, inspirational surfer just getting back in the water in spite of a surfing accident that's left him paralyzed from the neck down. A true audience-pleaser, Step Into Liquid is at once profoundly moving and profoundly entertaining. For more information and release dates and venues: www.steptintoliquid.com, or www.artisanent.com.
