Facing Monsters, which chronicles the crazy slab exploits and family life of Kerby Brown in Western Australia, may be the best movie about a surfer, ever (according to their press). There will a screening of this film with a Q&A session, in Los Angeles on October 4th at Brain Dead Studios on Fairfax.


Facing Monsters digs deep into the psyche of West Australian surfer Kerby Brown, a man whose connection with the ocean runs as deep as his love for his family. Far more than just a surfing story, it’s an unapologetic musing into the essence of Kerby and his family as we join them on his quest to ride a ferocious slab wave in the deep Southern Ocean that no one on the planet has surfed before.
