And the trailer for his new film The Smiling Bag inspires.
Is there anything Dion Agius cannot do? Is there any hill he cannot climb? Wave he cannot slide? Industry he cannot slay? Island he cannot live on? (did you know Manhattan is an island? Did you know Byron is a cultural island?)
And you hater, you low bastard, you asshole. I dare you to watch this trailer and grumpily critique. I dare you to watch and find fault.
ASSHOLE!
Open your mind to art! And you think I’m joking? You think I’m being purposefully/ironically hyperbolic?
Well you are wrong. The angles, interludes, music, cast, staging, direction and editing here are as good as I’ve ever seen in a trailer. The turns alone…
The turns!
Have you ever seen this many full-throated turns in a modern surf film trailer?
Have you?
LIAR!
I told you already that you are an asshole. I was right then and I am right now.
There is nothing to hate here. Only things to love. Only, hopefully, the future of surf.
