Beautiful film and BTS. Congratulations guys!
You reminded me that there's more to our story than corruption and mayhem. Congratulations and thank you.
CONGRATS on the win mate!! So well earned!! Outside of the amazingly produced yet very very tragic story and loss for Amanzi and his family and friends, I love how you nailed every aspect of those moments you have when you're a grom, or any surfer really, and then repartee and stoke you feel every time with your best surfing mate/s, or in this case brother. So well done!!
And of course, the best of wishes to Amanzi and his family and friends.
Epic story telling! And experience! Condolences and congrats at the same time I think?!
Its a tragic story but we get to share the good memories these two brothers had together thanks for watching
To show an audience such an important part of your life and take them through it without sensationalism and with such beauty is a rare talent. Each frame guides me through the story and landscape and lets me paint my own passions and relationships on it.
Lovely Tim, great storytelling, beautiful track and beautiful cine work, special place the TK. Well done
Beautiful film in every way! Congratulations...

Sooo sick!! Love everything about this!
Amazing story
Amazing man, congrats!!
0:59 that thansition was simply: STUNNING.
Heartwrenching. The ocean is his last connection to his dear brother and the only way he can feel close to him again, yet never physically with him. I did not read the description of the film prior to watching it, and strangely my first thought when they were standing on the shore was 'sharks!'
The transkei is a very sharky coast line and the beach that he was attacked is well know for many attacks, so much so that swimming is banned
Yeh, as soon as one brother went in a bit more ahead of the other, not together, it had that vibe that something was going to happen.
We've been getting a lot of fatal shark attacks and really close calls up the mid east coast of Australia the last few years, especially since whale populations / annual migration numbers have increased so dramatically (likely some overfishing in there too).
We're on the Gold Coast and several weeks ago we unfortunately had our first fatal attack in around 50-60 years. It happened 150-200m from Snapper where they have the first comp of the WCT every year. So uncharacteristic, and unimaginable for most if you know the place. Rattled a LOT of locals down the south end of the coast. It's such an unfathomable loss, and you would feel SO HELPLESS to have lost someone so close in that way.
Congrats! ❤️ So much emotions 🥺
This was beautiful! ❤️
Masterpiece! This is so beautiful, but also really really sad.. I cried very hard. Thank you and your team for all the hard work!
Late congratulations :D Very good movie :3
Very moving Timmy, what a talent for story telling you have. Good luck mate!
