“A study in timeless surfing and style of the highest order…” Surfer Magazine

A visual artist, photographer, sculptor and filmmaker Thomas Campbell’s seminal surf films ‘The Seedling’, ‘Sprout’ and ‘The Present’ catalyzed a paradigm shift in the culture that redefined the very art of waveriding and the boundaries of surf cinema. His latest audio-visual masterpiece YI-WO  is set to do the same again.

“YI-WO is a prayer, a habitual ritualistic gaze into the depths of the vast unknowable. YI-WO is a celebration of very purposely selected forms of the connective water sliding pursuits. It's a poem, a place to be or not to be untangled. A space for your time, to possibly honour the practice, this existence and the paths potential dimensional expansive qualities.” Thomas Campbell

10 years in the making and filmed across Fiji, Morocco, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Australia, Utah, Hawaii and California, Yi-Wo features the stand out style of surfers: Ryan Burch, Alex Knost, Craig Anderson, Karina Rozunko, Joel Tudor, Nick Melanson, Lauren Hill, Dave Rastovich, Ozzie Wright, Jared Mell, Trevor Gordon and Bryce Young.

Shot predominantly on 16mm film by Thomas Campbell, Dave Homcy, Scott Soens, Chris Bryan and Tyge Landa among others it’s an education in the art of surf cinematography. 

Soundtrack by - Cone Cinq, Spacemen 3, Group Inerane, Tommy Guerrero (with Josh Lippi and Matt Rodriguez), Arthur Russell, Kassia Meador and Alex Knost, Duane Pitre, Ray Barbee (with John Herndon and Josh Lippi), Fuck Buttons
