: NVEI), announced today that the company's showing of Dana Brown's "Step Into Liquid" received inordinate praise for the highly anticipated surf adventure film.

Earlier this month, the film was previewed at the historic Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850.  for the benefit of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum A maritime museum (sometimes nautical museum) is a museum specializing in the display of objects relating to ships and travel on seas and lakes. A naval museum focuses on navies and military use of the sea. . This 2,000+ seat historic play house and theater sold out in less than 10 days of tickets going on sale through the Arlington box office and TicketMaster online. This prompted the Maritime Museum organizer, Theresa Smith to add a second showing at 11 p.m., which also nearly sold out.

"This event was easily the largest surf event Santa Barbara has ever seen," said Smith. Given the advertising and anticipation of the film 2 1/2 years in the making, there was much riding on this special promotion. "I had heard the buzz about the next Brown film for quite a while and knew we had a good opportunity, but I had no idea how beautiful this film would be. Bruce and Dana really delivered far above what anyone could have imagined and we are extremely thankful to them and everyone at New Visual."

Smith wasn't the only one moved by the films high-performance yet emotionally connected content.

Legendary surfer and son of Endless Summer star, Sam August wrote: "Thank you New Visual for bringing to life what I think is the best surf movie I have ever seen."

After seeing the film prior to the NoDance Festival, Forrest Whitaker wrote:

"Although I had never surfed before, I found this film compelling not only because it transcends both surf and world cultures, but because it exposes what lies at the most primitive inner core of surfing surfing, sport of gliding toward the shore on a breaking wave. Surfers originally used long, cumbersome wooden boards but now ride lightweight synthetic boards that allow a greater degree of maneuverability. , spirituality."

And, after the screening in Santa Barbara, surfing Magazine's Editor in Chief wrote:

"Brown not only makes every board-carrying member special in Step Into Liquid, he unifies them, saying, we're all just 'in it for the ride.' And the audience was right there with them on Saturday, cheering from takeoff to kickout. Brown did a fantastic job of stringing it all together with witty wit·ty
