Short animation video and short magazine
Don’t Fear The Reaper is a critical short film about danger at sea. From the maker’s own experience with surfing, to reflections on the booming popularity of the sport and its all too often ignored Polynesian history.
The film is accompanied by the magazine, a compilation of the research shaped as portrait interviews of surfers from Mo’orea and Tahiti (French Polynesia). It is available in both English and French.
