“Kook Paradise” was the winner of the 2012 NY Surf Film Festival’s Best Short Film category and Viewer’s Choice Award. It’s one part social commentary, one part comedy, and one heaping spoonful of reality. Kook Paradise was filmed on location at Ditch Plains Beach highlighting the surf culture in and out of the water. It is shot in the style of the surfing films from the 1960s, bringing levity and humor to that which surrounds surfing’s current popularity in NY in particular. Kook Paradise is a film by Tin Ojeda and myself.
