Chasing the Lotus – The Movie
For forty years, underground filmmakers Greg Weaver
and Spyder Wills documented surf discovery as it
migrated around the globe. Their shots captured on
celluloid became the timeless images for such films as
The Forgotten Island of Santosha, Big Wednesday,
Pacific Vibrations, Uluwatu and many more.
Chasing the Lotus is a cinematic journey inspired by many of the
reels that were lost in the making of these films.
Since that time, these reels have resurfaced and have now been
brought to light. A fusion of rare super 8mm film,
photo stills and contemporary interviews blend
together to make Chasing the Lotus the most in-depth
look at surfing discovery ever made.
