The Adventures of Jared Mell

Not many people embody the true spirit of California the way Jared Mell does. With an outlook on life so laid back it's practically horizontal and a carefree approach to surfing which oozes class and style, Jared has forged his own way of life.
Director Josh Penn Soskin brings us a beautifully crafted insight into Jared's world, a world without rules and without destinations. A world with an open road.
This short film is based on the article "The Adventures of Jared Mell" published in Desillusion Magazine 49, Volume 1.
