SWEET ADVENTURE

SURF FILM | 53 MINS | UK | DIRECTOR: PETER HAMBLIN | PRODUCER: FRANKIE FOGG | NSW PREMIERE

Super Special

There are those movies that capture the moment, the magic, the zeitgeist and ‘Sweet Adventure’ the latest masterpiece from award winning filmmaker Peter Hamblin, who brought you Let’s Be Frank and Riss, is just one of those rare gems.

Now, the affable South African director brings us Sweet Adventure, starring Albee Layer, Matt Meola, Nora Vasconcellos and Selema Masekela. It’s classic Hamblin, bringing Hollywood flair and witty irreverence to the surf film.

Surf movies, for the most part, fall into distinct categories. There’s the part film, the documentary, the travel adventure, the biopic. Then there’s the Peter Hamblin way. Nothing is off the table. There’s a certain sprinkling of magic dust that’s hard to describe. It’s like turning the dial up to 11.

At its very core Sweet Adventure is a film about adventure but it’s about more than that, it’s about travel, and friendship, and great waves – it’s about the things we’ve been missing, the things that matter; all set in the great country of El Salvador.
