”SURFWISE” ONE SHEET AND TRAILER

Friday, April 18th, 2008

On behalf of Magnolia Pictures, we are pleased to present ”Surfwise” one sheet and trailer

Director

:

Doug Pray

Synopsis

:

“Surfwise” follows the odyssey of 85-year-old, legendary surfer Dr. Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz, his wife Juliette, and their nine children - all of whom were home-schooled on the beaches of Southern California, Hawaii, Mexico and Israel; they surfed every day of their lives, and were forced to adhere to a strict diet and lifestyle by their passionate and demanding, health-conscious father.

In the mid-1950s Dorian Paskowitz was a successful doctor living the good life in the territory of Hawaii, until two devastating divorces and the realization that he had no interest in money or status caused him to completely upend his life. Dorian dropped his practice and traveled to Israel for a year where he lived among the Bedouins and developed a lifelong obsession with a healthy diet. He introduced surfing to Israel and became a hero in the burgeoning Tel Aviv beach scene.

Returning to the States, he met his wife Juliette, and the rest was history. They fell madly in love, steered clear of society, lived out of a tiny camper on the beach, and had 7 sons in rapid succession: David, Jonathan, Abraham, Israel, Moses, Adam, and Salvador Daniel. Then they had one daughter, Navah, and their ninth child, Joshua.

The children were raised in the Jewish tradition, complete with Shabbat on the beach every Friday night. But that’s where similarities with a normal societal upbringing end. Doc’s absolute determination was to raise his children according to the strictest standards of nature. They ate only organic and/or raw foods with no sugar or fat. Their community was their family. They didn’t need money or have to pay bills or taxes. Their home was anywhere the crowded camper was parked.

What happens to eight brothers and a sister that are raised under such extraordinary circumstances?

“Surfwise” is the story of a man who pursued his dreams and dragged his family along for the wild ride.

Shirley Lyner (Katherine Waterston) is a typical high school teen - she worries about her grades and the SAT’s; she wonders if her best friend’s step-brother likes her, she baby-sits a few nights to make some extra cash. Shirley even has a little crush on one of her new clients; the dad, Mr. Beltran (John Leguizamo), makes her blush when he comes to pick her up.

But when Mr. Beltran kisses Shirley before taking her home, Shirley kisses back. And the extra big tip Mr. Beltran gives Shirley on top of her babysitting fee feels less like a guilty payoff and more like a little of surge of electricity. So when Mr. Beltran’s friend wants to know if Shirley has any friends who can also “baby-sit,” Shirley sees a way she can make a quick twenty percent. Before long, Shirley realizes, the more girls she has “babysitting,” the bigger her college fund.

Unfortunately for Shirley, the seven deadly sins are deadly for a reason. Soon greed, envy, jealousy have Shirley caught up not in love, not even in lust, but in a high stakes game of commerce where the buying and selling may look like fun, but the consequences can be fatal.

Golden Compass! Is it worth watching?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

**************************************************
just seen the movie’s trailer and it’s indeed very captivating mass appeal
especially since it’s a big Hollywood production - “so then let us not
sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober 1Thes.5:6″

There will be a new children’s movie out in December called ‘The Golden
Compass’. The movie has been described as ‘atheism for kids’ and is based
on the first book of a trilogy entitled ‘His Dark Materials’ that was
written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular
humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. His
motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis’
symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.

Clearly, Pullman’s main objective is to bash Christianity and promote
atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a
2003 interview that ‘my books are about killing God.’ He has even stated
that he wants to ‘kill God in the minds of children’. It has been said of
Pullman that he is ‘the writer the atheists would be praying for, if
atheists prayed.’

While ‘The Golden Compass’ movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the
books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwise girl
becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat the oppressive
forces of a senile God. Another character, an ex-nun, describes
Christiaity as ‘a very powerful and convincing mistake.’ In the final
book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at
times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse
regarding Pullman’s hatred of Jesus Christ.

‘The Golden Compass’ is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas
season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably be heavily
advertised.

Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children to see
the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, and that the children will want
the books for Christmas.

Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this
information along to everyone you know (including church leaders). This
will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the
movie. I am sending this to those of you who have kids or friends with
kids, grandkids or have influence with kids. So many things today are
darkness concealed in what appears to be innocent.

Don’t let kids see ‘The Golden Compass’

For anyone with kids, grandkids other relatives or friends who this may
concern, I have checked it out at
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp and it is TRUE.
