By Terry Keefe
The manner in which Iowa native Tanna Frederick received her break as an actress has sort of become a independent filmmaking legend, but it bears repeating, as a lesson in the type of chutzpah required to get anywhere in the film business. After a few years of struggling in the audition trenches of Hollywood, Frederick was told by a fellow actor that filmmaker Henry Jaglom often responded to fan letters. Frederick proceeded to write a copious letter to Jaglom, praising the merits of his 1997 film Deja Vu…which she had never actually seen. Nonetheless, a correspondence between Frederick and Jaglom began, and eventually, Jaglom gave the actress permission to do a stage production of his 1971 film debut, A Safe Place, the cinematic version of which starred Jack Nicholson, Orson Welles, and Tuesday Weld.

For many, surfing conjures images of carefree drifters attuned to the rhythms of the ocean. But for several top surfers in the mid-1970s, hitting the waves meant not daydreams but death threats."It was a scary, scary time," recounts South African Shaun Tomson, winner of the 1977 surfing world title. Barely out of his teens, Tomson had arrived in Hawaii's North Shore of Oahu, aka, the "Mount Everest of surfing," two years earlier to make a name for himself. Along with Australians such as Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew and Mark Richards, he would soon become a pioneer of the sport, transforming his passion for surfing into an industry now worth billions -- but not before arousing anger among the local community. Their story is the subject of Bustin' Down the Door, a new action-packed documentary directed by Jeremy Gosch (Last Ride) and narrated by Oscar-nominated actor (and fellow surfer) Edward Norton.

- Just in time for summer, distributor Screen Media Films has acquired the domestic rights to Jeremy Gosch's Bustin' Down The Door. This surfer documentary (following in the recent footsteps of Bra Boys and Surfwise) is more than just attractive people running down the beach; the film details how competitive surfing transformed into the enormous money-maker it is today. Edward Norton narrates the project. Because he refuses to promote The Hulk, perhaps Norton will use his vacation time to publicize this surfer flick. After receiving great reviews at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, this documentary is sure to make a splash.Other names attached to the project include surfers Kelly Slater, Ian Cairns, and Tom Curren. Fellower surfer Shaun Tomson lends his producing skills to Monika Gosch and Robert Traill. ...
