Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story -- A wild and wicked send-up of every musical biopic ever made, WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY is gut-busting proof that when it comes to hard rocking, living and laughing, a hard man is good to find. Live: A Music and Surfing Experience -- 'LIVE: A MUSIC AND SURFING EXPERIENCE' ushers audiences through the intricacies of the symbiotic relationship between the two worlds of surf & sound. Classic archival photography, spectacular footage-current & vintage-and a phenomenal soundtrack, including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Jackson Browne, Jack Johnson, Pennywise, Sublime & many more. Filmmaker David Parsa ("Absolute Mexico") weaves sequences along the surf culture timeline-from its Polynesian roots through every era of surfing & music since. 

World-renowned musician & lifelong surfer Jackson Browne offers musing, while additional insight comes from Jack Johnson, members of Black Sabbath, T.S.O.L. & The Untouchables. "LIVE" features riding & commentary from past & present surfing icons, including Rabbit Kekai, Greg Noll, Gerry Lopez, Wayne Bartholomew, Tom Curren, Mark Occhilupo, Kelly Slater, Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, & Jeff Clark, to name a few. 

"LIVE" includes a special sequence of never-before-seen footage from December 4, 2007, dubbed "Big Tuesday," when heavy sounds are met by heavier waves at possibly the most violent spot in the world, Pescadero Point, a.k.a. Ghost Tree. Insiders who pioneered Ghost Tree reveal the dynamics of the infamous location.

SURFING MAGAZINE proclaims, "'LIVE' dances through each decade and shows why surfing and music go together like Shaun Tomson and tubes. You'll be strumming your six string and waxing up before the credits."

THE SURFER'S PATH describes, "LIVE has so many pluses... the far-ranging soundtrack, the era-spanning footage... Overall, an original and well-played groove that's a real pleasure both to watch and listen to." Shrink -- From the movie Shrink starring Kevin Spacey.
