MAKAI is out now!!! link in bio!!! 🌊 over a year and a half ago, we met julian williams, an inspiring african american surfer from hawaii with a powerful story. what began as a simple plan to film a two-day interview in la evolved into a profound exploration spanning la and hawaii. this short film is so beyond our initial expectations. we just wanted to create something impactful, highlighting an important story, which has evolved into a deeper narrative. our hope is that it sparks conversations that lead to a future where such struggles are a thing of the past. this project was a labor of love, made possible by our incredible community. we are immensely grateful to everyone who contributed, from those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and to those who supported us along the way. your efforts have helped us amplify julian’s message to inspire all generations and break down barriers. this experience has been a dream. here’s to creating more meaningful films that one day reach theaters and continue to touch hearts beyond our private screenings – thank you all for being part of this journey and enjoy ❤️ director - @lorisrussier producer - @autumnmaschi 🥹💐🌊 production company - @northofnowfilms executive producers - @yaro___ @lotumn_ @creamparistv pm - @cammadero pc - @ebearcook starring - @julian.williams_ & @frankie_miller_13 featuring - @inglewoodsir dp - @andgavazzi 1st ac (hawaii) - @theloniousfawkes 1st ac (la) - @waltercwat 1st ac (la) - @c.m.solorzano 2nd ac (la) - @torbfilms 2nd ac (la) - @cine.masih steadicam - @steadi.g underwater op - @andywoodward 1st ad (la) - @dbenfilms location manager (hawaii) - @dougfalter gaffer - @meganshorttt kg (la) - @whitericelife bbg (la) - richard chicas script supervisor - @jsn.wlf @societyofwlvs production designer - @gregyaro editor - @emiaubry ae - @jacob_c_bottorff colorist - @dantegiani color house - @ethos_studio vfx - @madnomad.collective vfx artist - @prasi.vld vfx producer - bazanonami additional vfx - @mat_care @forms___ graphic design - @eddiemandell music composer - @mim.audio sound - @concret.form sound design & mix - @rphljls sound editor @inesc_adam trailer sound & mix - @mim.audio
