About This Item
SURFILMUSIC is an intimate look into Jack's evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician. The documentary traces how his early years making surf films with close friends became a foundation for a much broader creative life, capturing moments in and out of the water that later surfaced in his songwriting. Blending rare footage from those formative surf films and Jack's personal and family archives with present-day reflections, the film weaves together how lived experience, friendship, and exploration shaped the sound and stories behind the music. Featuring Jack, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Gerry Lopez, Chris Malloy, G. Love, Ben Harper, John Florence, Tamayo Perry, Emmett Malloy, and Kim Johnson. Directed by Emmett Malloy. Score by Jack and Hermanos Gutiérrez. The film will premiere at SXSW and be released wide on May 15, 2026 with an accompanying digital + physical of the soundtrack on the same day. Details 1.
