One of the better surf company’s around today is called RVCA (they also do skate as well). They fund an art magazine called the Artist Network Program (ANP) which is co-edited by a guy called Aaron Rose. It’s hard to explain how big of a deal Aaron Rose is.. He is the guy responsible for the Beautiful Losers and the Alleged Gallery in New York (both massive deals). Anyway, RVCA/ANP have just released a short film called Beach Blanket Burnout (you can get a high-res trailer here). It looks very very art house, but the writer/director is a guy named Tyler Manson who has a great show on VBS.tv called HI-SHREDABILITY so you know it’s probably going to be a cool little movie.
