A Brokedown Melody

Wed, 31 May 2006 09:46:47 -0700

The Moonshine Conspiracy stays true to the roots of surf filmmaking in releasing the anticipated fourth and latest project, “A Brokedown Melody” under the new banner, Woodshed Films. The title track is written & performed by Moonshiner Jack Johnson, who also showcases his surfing skills. The film explores the times, travels and experiences of a tribe of surfers who search for the spark of life and look to pass it on to the younger generation.

“A Brokedown Melody” takes a step back from the informative approach and allows the viewer to experience surfing in a different context. In a more traditional surf film format, “A Brokedown Melody” allows the visuals of the latest surfing combined with music, images and select commentary to tell the story of a surfer’s journey.
