Facing Monsters

2021 - Australia

Facing Monsters digs deep into the psyche of enigmatic West Australian ‘slab wave’ surfer Kerby Brown, a man whose connection with the ocean runs as deep as his love for his family. Far more than a surfing story, it’s an unapologetic musing into the essence of Kerby and his family as we join them on his quest to a ride a ferocious slab wave in the deep Southern Ocean that no one on the planet has surfed before. It’s a film is about fear, addictions, and family bonds as we explore what drives Kerby, what anchors him and why he’s obsessed with pitting himself against one of nature’s most intimidating forces.
