The Moonshine Conspiracy's third and biggest
project, "Shelter", carries the spirit of Thicker Than Water and September Sessions, however it has a texture and vision all it's own.
Surfers featured include the likes of Machado and Dorian but the film
also hosts the surfing and thoughts from people such as Joel Tudor, Nat
Young, Mick Fanning, Malia Jones, and many more. There is even an
unconfirmed sighting of Ben Harper in an early cut of the film.
The all-original score for the project is being headed by Joachim
Cooder (from the Grammy winning documentary the "Buena Vista Social Club")
and is turning out to be an eclectic piece of art on it's own. We can only
imagine the various artists he has in store for the ever-changing mood of
the film.
As far as surfing goes, there are over thirty hours of footage that
according to Brad Gerlach is "the best surfing I've ever seen". It's been
cut down to an hour by directors Taylor Steele and Chris Malloy with a
hand from Emmett Malloy and Jack Johnson
