INTERVIEW
Interview with Julian Watson, director of the film ‘Surfing & Sharks’ What inspired you to make this film? JW: We went to Capetown for a surf/ road trip with some friends (as you do) and I think even the first night we spoke about making a film. I think I’d been bugging my girl about wanting to shoot another doc from pure passion and not commercial drive for at least 6 months before that. So we went on a shark cage dive while in town and I bumped into Mike Rudson (TV shark guy) on his tour. There were no animals for two hours, so I started talking to him, which was a big inspiration. He was actually more interesting than the actual dive itself. Then I was introduced to Chris Mason, who at the time was working for Wavescape, which held a surf film festival, and was keen to help out on the local production side. And yeah, put all that together and it was a great start!
You must have spent a great deal of time filming this. Can you take us through the process from start to finish? JW: This is the fastest documentary we have ever made –11 Months from inception to world premier. It was 4 months of concept / flow / direction / design / sponsorship finding, 30 days of manic 28-hour days back-to-back shooting in June (the height
of the sardine run and when South Africa’s biggest swell shows up everywhere). We road-tripped from Capetown all the way down the east coast to Durban and ending with a the free dive at Aliwal Shoal. Let’s just say that someone was on our side. We had great shooting conditions: weather, nature, animal, character-wise 100 percent. It’s one of those things that happens so fast that you spend all your energy just keeping up with it. And yeah South Africa is a very friendly place where every question you ask anyone is usually a ‘yes’ instead of ‘no’.That really helped - respect. But still not sure how many speeding tickets we have!
What was your ultimate goal in making this film? What did you want people to take away from it? JW: We made this film with the intention that we wanted the whole world to experience it. It’s a story from all sides. It takes on everything you know and challenges it. We really wanted a pure film that spoke from the heart of every person involved behind and in front of the lens. I guess there is an underlying conversation and overall ‘respect the ocean’ message, but also expect the unexpected.

Asian premiere Justin Krumb/ Australia/ 2011/ 85’ The message of this film is two fold: The power of one individual to inspire people to take action and make a difference and if ocean minded people are to pass on a sustainable culture, then they must become responsible stewards of their coastal environment. Through Dave Rastavich’s journey, we see one surfer’s quest to activate his community to help protect the ocean and its inhabitants.
Pesan dari film ini mempunyai dua sisi: kekuatan seorang individu untuk menginspirasi orang – orang untuk mengambil tindakan dan membuat perbedaan, dan jika orang – orang yang memikirkan laut untuk mewarisi kebudayaan ini secara berkelanjutan, lalu mereka harus bertanggung jawab atas lingkungan di pesisir. Melalui perjalanan Dave Rastavich, kita bisa melihat sebuah pencarian seorang surfer untuk membuat komunitasnya aktif dalam melestarikan lautan dan habitatnya. www.mindsinthewater.com
