Oceanic sport culture is mixed with the idea of anti-utopic dialogue in 'The Fruits of Dystopia' Film by Cyrus Sutton.
Sutton, a renowned surfer and film maker, has created this short featured on his website with a focus on surf culture.
The Emmy Award-winning director explores the theme of a less-than-perfect reality. The short features the genius blend of stunning oceanic imagery paired with "excerpts from classic dystopian novels "1984," A Brave New World," and Fahrenheit 451."
The Multi-talented director of Korduroy TV has compiled clips of atmospheric visuals with various surfing and skateboarding professionals like Steve Caballero and Peter Hewitt. This juxtaposition of beautiful paradise-like landscapes with ominous literary dialogue is eerily beautiful. It challenges viewers to explore facets of reality with the turmoil of society.
