Sean Gilhooly’s INDO The Movie Premier and
Launch at Poco Loco in Bali on December 22
14 December 2012,
Kuta-Bali: The much
anticipated launching of Sean Gilhooley’s surf film INDO the Movie will be
happening next Saturday night December 22nd at the Poco Loco Kitchen
and Bar in Legian starting off at 7:30 pm.
Heralded by Surftime’s Matt George as “the most visually
stunning and breathtaking documentation of surfing to come out of Asia,” INDO the
Movie showcases a cast of the best of the best Indonesian surfers including
Garut Widiarta, Mustofa Jeksen, Raditya Rondi, Marlon Gerber, Lee Wilson and
others as they surf the greatest waves on the planet against the backdrops of
epic scenery in exotic locations.
“I’m so stoked to see this movie,” says Garut Widiarta. “I’ve done three boat trips with Sean
to the best waves in Indo to shoot these clips, and these will be my best sections
ever for sure. I love having all
of us Indo boys in one high quality and high performance movie like this. Can’t
wait for the premiere!”
Mustofa Jeksen agreed, saying “I feel like this is a really
special movie for us Indonesian surfers, for the quality of the surfing, the
editing, the music and everything.
It gives me chills down my back when I watch it…can’t wait to see it on
the big screen at the opening!”
INDO the Movie is the work of Bali-based Sean Gilhooley, who
has been gathering the footage over the last two years and spending hours
editing his first surf movie effort. "I do a lot of work for the Coca-Cola
Indonesian Surfing Championship tour, so I get to witness Indonesia’s best surfing
on a regular basis, both in an out of competition.” said Gilhooley. “I can safely say from the quarter
final heats on, the standard of surfing here is up there with any WQS (World
Qualifying Series) event, so I really wanted to document that in the best way I
could.”
Being on the tour, when the comp is on he is flat out, but
there are also free days at the comps as well time in between where he can get
the boys together and shoot his own footage. “Over the last four years I have
made over 450 web videos for these surfing events, and most of these clips are
on a strict deadline where I film all day at the beach then spend between 6 to
8 hours that night editing and putting the clip on the net. Thankfully I love
my job! But I have always wanted
to do my own thing without anyone looking over my shoulder dictating what I’m
doing, so this was my chance to do it.
INDO is all me. So if it
sucks it’s on me, but at least I did it my way,” he added with grin.
DVD’s of INDO the Movie will be available at all the major
surf shops in Bali and around Indonesia including Rip Curl, Billabong,
Quiksilver, Volcom and wherever Electric sunglasses are sold.
