BLACKBOY

Winner Best Short Category - Portuguese Surf Film Festival, 2017
Deus Bali is proud to present our latest profile piece; BLACKBOY: a portrait of Deni Firdaus.
Deni Firdaus comes from a remote beach town in West Java, Indonesia, called Batu
Karas. Although the town’s major industry is growing rice, people in the town collect
vintage cars, ride custom 2-stroke motorbikes and love to longboard. Not your
typical Indonesian village. In this 10-minute profile, Deni introduces his town, his
life and shares his passion for the unorthodox local customs.
STARRING:
Deni Firdaus, Harrison Roach, Thomas Bexon, Husni Ridwan, Zye
Norris, and Matt Cuddihy
CINEMATOGRAPHY:
Andre Cricket
DIRECTED:

I started surfing on boards like this and riding bikes like these in the 60's and 70's in south Africa now I live on the English channel and its flat as a pancake with all my surfboards stuck behind the door. time to get a bike attach a rack and carry cage for my dog on the rear and a surfboard rack on the side and ride to the nearest surf 40 miles away. I'm 67 now had a heart attack and coma survived and life must start again surfs up!
