Screen shot 2013-01-07 at 10.43.25 AM.jpgBased on true events, Drift is a story set on Western Australia’s spectacular and rugged coastline in the early 1970s.

It begins in a remote coastal town with the two Kelly brothers, who spend their youth searching for the perfect wave.

Out of necessity the family launch a backyard surf business; re‐thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling their new surf gear out of their van.

Battling killer waves, small town conservatism and hard-core criminals, the brothers persevere, daring to dream of a world where they can surf to live and live to surf.

A story of passion and corruption, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, Drift tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.

Drift has been sold globally and is being released first in cinemas across USA in April 2013.

The title design for the film was done by Sydney based Heckler TV.
