Self Discovery for Social Survival
Self Discovery for Social Survival is a collaborative film from record label Mexican Summer and surf and outdoor brand Pilgrim Surf + Supply. Filmed in Mexico, the Maldives, and Iceland in three separate vignettes, musicians (Allah-Las, Connan Mockasin, Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT, and Peaking Lights) and pro-surfers (Stephanie Gilmore, Creed McTaggart, Ryan Burch + more) embark on sound and surf journeys that conjures a surreal and serene symbiosis of music, the environment, and local culture. The film is poetically narrated by the legendary avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas, one of his last recorded testaments.

Las Shapers
Las Shapers is a documentary that celebrates three women (Kat Mortimer, Cher Pendarvis, and Valerie Duprat) at different stages of their lives, forging a new path in the world of building surfboards. Each womans unique approach to board building reflects the way they navigate lifes obstacles with resourcefulness and creativity. Through their stories, we learn the importance of finding a voice that they can assert in their day-to-day life in order to break the boundaries of traditionally gendered roles, because, lets face it, surfboard building has long been regarded as a male-dominated trade. With passionate women like Kat, Cher, and Valerie, thats changing. Las Shapers is also a testament to the influence and support of partners and mentors in one of the crafts where mentorship is still vital.
