Surfline.com - Behind the Scenes: “Chasing Dora”
Wes Brown and TJ Barrack’s 2006 film challenged three surfer/shapers to ‘chase a voice from beyond the grave.’
In our next installment of Surf Cinema Sundays powered by TheSurfNetwork, we’re going to show “Chasing Dora,” included in your Surfline Premium membership. We’ll continue showing iconic surf movies every other Sunday. (Next up: ‘Stoked And Broke’, September 27.) If you’re not already Premium, sign up for a Surfline free trial here, and you can also stream/rent the film by going to TheSurfNetwork’s site.
You might say Wes Brown was born into this. Actually, there’s no other way to say it. His grandfather was none other than Bruce Brown, the All-Time Grand Poobah of Surf Cinema. His father, Dana Brown, directed the genre-rattling 2003 documentary, Step Into Liquid, and has a new film coming out about the Brown legacy A charmed apprenticeship through his teens fast-tracked Wes to a career in surf filmmaking. But he wouldn’t go it alone.
