Morgan Maassen: Jungle

An unintentional surf film… sort of.

I created this film to explore long-form editing, give a home to so many projects/trips/travel that needed some context, and as a tip of the hat to my passion, surfing.

You can either not see very well or there’s a ruddy great spotlight pointed in your face, at which point you also can’t see very well…
But Jordy is a professional and so made the most of a unique situation.
