THANK YOU MOTHER, February 7, 2019, 7:30pm
'Thank You Mother' is a cinematic journey of surfing,simplicity and appreciation. It is
a film that isn't afraid to be beautiful, stylish and sincere.
Produced by Torren Martyn and Ishka Folkwell with
an original soundtrack by Nick Bampton.
'Thank You Mother' is narrated by award winning Australian film maker and life long simplist Albert Falzon, who made the seminal 1970 surf film 'Morning of the Earth'.
'Thank You Mother' began as a story about the act
of creating a surfboard and the art of riding one.
Exploring the connection between surfer Torren
Martyn and his friend, mentor and surfboard shaper,
Simon Jones of 'Morning of the Earth Surfboards'.
This naturally led to the doorstep of another friend and mentor, Albert Falzon and the film became more
about connection, creativity and friendship,
about surfing, being happy, and living simply.
Shot on location in South Africa, Indonesia and
Australia, Ishka Folkwell's original and artful
approach to film making captures something of the
essence of these places, bringing them to life on
screen.
Nick Bamptons original musical score was
composed for the film, so as Torren Martyn glides with style and power, carving beautiful lines into clean
walls, the music echoes the mood and rhythm of his movements perfectly.Perhaps the most powerful element of this creative collaboration between surfers, shapers, filmmakers and musicians is the truth and beauty of
Albert Falzons reflections on life. With humility and charisma he offers viewers the keys to a life of contentment,explaining that happiness comes not from
having more or being the best, but from having good
friends and being kind. 'Thank You Mother' is a film
that celebrates appreciation of the simple things
and stays with viewers long after they have watched it.
