Deep Blue / Middle C

The making of the Deep Blue / Middle C was a passion project on a grand scale – a group of the most creative people at the top of their game, putting their heart and soul into this surf culture documentary set on the West Coast of South Africa – the result?

Deep Blue / Middle C
An ode to the weskus (west coast)
“I don’t have a tribal dance,
there are no manhood rituals for me.
Sitting round this fire with my friends,
surfing these West Coast waves,
This is my culture.”
– J’ bones / ‘ the dronk kreef ‘
A genre bending documentary – a personal project from director Bryan Little he describes as
“A glorious home video from an alternate reality, that is to be a surfer living and breathing on
the west coast of South Africa – to this sanctuary we make pilgrimages, to wash off the dirt of the world.”
For 10days&10nights we made a studio on the beach, from it our little community of surfers, artists, musicians, chefs, mystics and foragers made music with our true selves. Exploring the greatest force on earth : we ate our fill from the wilderness.
With themes of the ocean, spirit, biology, identity, and our natural place in the world,
Deep Blue / Middle C is an interwoven story where fiction and non-fiction co-exist; as do memory and dreams.
A wise man recently told me;
“The qualities of the steps to getting somewhere are the same as the qualities of being there”.
