Expencive Porno Movie: don't worry, it's a surf movie

When surrealism hits the surfing scene, the best thing you've got to do is watch an "Expencive Porno Movie."

Surf movies are getting very experimental.

Forget classic Hollywood angles, high-tech video effects, contemporary editing, and mainstream soundtracks.

Today, everything's a lab. "Expencive Porno Movie" was shot entirely on Super 16mm, and that is why you'll notice that grainy look in every surf move for 45 minutes.

Tin Ojeda, the director behind this 1970s-esque surf flick, got the inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's approaches.

The final result focuses on West Coast surfing with an indie East Coast look.

"Expencive Porno Movie" features Dane Peterson, Kassia Meador, Alex Knost, JJ Wessels, Mikey DeTemple, Trevor Gordon, Kyle Albers, Devon Howard, Justin Adams, Scotty Stopnik, Jared Mell, and Ryan Burch.
