Chasing the Lotus (2006): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2006, Chasing the Lotus is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Gregory Schell, running about 88 minutes. “The lost reels of Weaver and Wills” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. For forty years, underground film-makers Greg Weaver and Spyder Wills documented surf discovery as it migrated around the world. Their shots captured on celluloid became the images for such films as Stylemasters, The Forgotten Island of Santosha, Big Wednesday, Pacific Vibrations, Uluwatu and many more. This documentary is a cinematic journey inspired by many of the reels that were lost in the making of these films. Since that time, these reels have resurfaced and are now brought to light. A fusion of rare super 8mm film, photo stills and contemporary interviews blend together to make Chasing the Lotus the most in-depth look at the evolution of the surf culture and surf discovery ever made.

Who’s in it. Chasing the Lotus stars Jeff Bridges as Narrator, Stacy Peralta as Himself and Gerry Lopez as Himself.
