misfit pictures press release- notes from the underground...

Fall 2012/ Spring 2013

San Diego, CA.

misfit pictures has had an amazing year and we want to thank all of those who have

supported us. Since May 2011, our debut film MANUFACTURING STOKE has been

invited to over 20 international film festivals and has had another 35 screenings

worldwide. In addition to meeting some incredible people and sharing unforgettable

times, our film has received critical acclaim from festivals around the globe. Through

the festival support, we have secured several international distribution deals and now our film

can truly be seen anywhere.

So we are proud to announce our upcoming fall schedule of international film festivals:

Sept. 27 Monterey- http://www.blueoceanfilmfestival.org/

Sept. 28 San Francisco- http://sfindie.virb.com/

Sept. 29 Rio - http://2011.festivaldorio.com.br/en/

Although MANUFACTURING STOKE is still strong on the international film festival

circuit, misfit pictures is pleased to announce that the final screening of our “World

Tour” will be taking place in our own backyard Friday, Sept. 7th. “It’s been an amazing

ride and an invaluable experience but we are all ready to get to work on our next film,”

says Kavanagh. “The good folks over at the Del Mar Shores Cinema Series have asked us

to headline their film series and we couldn’t be more proud to complete the tour at

home.” Producers Petra Kavanagh and Geoffrey Smart will be in attendance.

Coinciding on the coast of Maine, Grain Surfboards is conducting the 2nd Annual Surf

Re-Evolution event Sept. 8-9th and has invited misfit’s Pierce Michael Kavanagh to lend a

hand. Last year’s event kicked off the east coast tour of MANUFACTURING STOKE and

we had a great time watching our film on the side of a barn. This year, Pierce will

present a couple of films from the San Diego Surf Film Festival (Doug Walker’s Lost and

Found and Skye Walker’s The Escape) and moderate the guest speakers’ panel on

innovative surfboard design and construction. Good friends and a solid swell on it's way...couldn't be happier.

misfit pictures is pleased to announce our next feature film WHAT THE SEA GIVES ME.

This film highlights those with a life-long connection to the sea. Interviews include the

“world’s greatest oceanographer,” a great white shark researcher, an artist, a

photographer, a big wave surfer and many others with an explicable draw to the sea. This

ambitious film will connect all the seven seas seen through the eyes of the ocean’s

greatest ambassadors while raising global ocean awareness.

Kickstarter is the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects and we are

utilizing Kickstarter to raise funds for production. Our filming schedule is from

November 1- March 31st and we are seeking to raise $9,000 and become a community-

based project. Please tell your friends and family the Kickstarter campaign will run from

Sept. 7th- Oct. 10th and will feature some amazing Rewards from the filmmaking process.

Here is your chance to support something really special.

In October, the SAN DIEGO SURF FILM FESTIVAL has been asked to bring some of

the stoke to the Boardroom International Surfboard Show and to curate the “Cinema

Grotto” Oct. 6-7th in Del Mar, CA. We are bringing aboard Cyrus Sutton and our friends

from KorduroyTV to co-present this truly special event that is honoring the legendary

Mark Richards. The “Cinema Grotto” will feature a dynamic array of the best short films

from the SDSFF, several new releases and a few surprises. In addition to prizes and

raffles, we will be conducting “Meet the Filmmaker” sessions from 12 noon to 2pm on

Saturday and Sunday. This is guaranteed to be a great time and we are really excited to

be working with The Boardroom and KorduroyTV.

May 2013, we will be presenting the SAN DIEGO SURF FILM FESTIVAL from May 8-

12th, from Bird’s Surf Shed. Due to the overwhelming response to last year’s sold out

inaugural festival; we added an extra day to this year’s event. Running from Wednesday

to Sunday, the SDSFF will feature over 35 of the finest independent surf films, live

music, the SDSFF Art Lounge, hands-on surfboard shaping demos, bodysurfing

expression sessions, beach clean-ups and of course, HOOTS AND SHAKAS.

Early Bird film submissions Oct. 1- Dec. 31st, 2012.

So as you can see, we have a very busy schedule over at misfit pictures and we couldn’t

be happier. Please join us in our quest for world domination.
