Skimboarding For Unity
Last weekend I went out to the Skimboarding for Unity contest at East Coast Park. It was sponsored by Billabong, Bigfoot Industries, and a couple of others. The contest flew in pro skimboarders from all over Asia to compete for prizes. Many of the surfers I've come to know in Singapore were hanging out at this contest, and we went for a big yummy Vietnamese meal afterwards (YUM! Thanks Kalani and Cheryl!!). Here are some photos of the contest, and a few of the riders who have agreed to be in my movie.

Casting!
We're doing auditions now for KINDRED SPIRIT at NYU Tisch Asia. Here are the casting breakdowns. If you know anyone who might be interested in these parts, please have them contact director Erin Galey at EG1124@NYU.EDU to schedule a time to audition.
Thanks!
Erin Galey
(Writer/Director)
KINDRED SPIRIT is a story about the funeral of a fun-loving "Peter Pan Forever" surfer whose two girlfriends (yep) are confronted with each other for the first time at his funeral. The tense and comedic situation builds to a fistfight at the beach service, and is vaguely resolved only by their fond memory of the surfer. This film will be shot on super 16mm film by DP Shivani Khattar and production design by Laetitia Gangotena. Director Erin Galey has worked with The Flaming Lips, Woodshed Entertainment (producing John Krasinski's latest film Brief Interviews with Hideous Men), ESPN.com, the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, and a talented group of directors at Tisch. She is currently a 2nd year studying Directing and Cinematography at NYU Tisch Asia in Singapore.
Seeking dynamic, confident actors for the following roles:
SAMANTHA (25-30. Any ethnicity. Athletic)
A previous surfer turned student, Samantha is a bit of a tomboy. She is sensitive, generous, and polite, but can become competitive when threatened (and once she snaps, her sting is fierce!). Samantha seeks redemption from a betrayal that's cast her as an outsider.
BRIDGET (25-30, any ethnicity)
Bridget is a bit of a dreamer. She wants to get married and travel the world, forget about money and live off the land, and write beautiful songs on her guitar by the campfire. She easily drifts between fantasy and reality.
ROSE (25-35, any ethnicity, possibly athletic)
Rose is a responsible, straightforward woman who wants to take care of problems. She is a compassionate caretaker who rules with tough love. She is stronger than she looks.
CAROLINE (45-70, any ethnicity)
Caroline can't cope with the death of her son. She avoids thinking about it, convinced the funeral is a pleasant party and her son will show up any minute. This is a VERY dynamic role for an older woman.
ANDY (25-40, any ethnicity).
A surf shop business owner, Andy is a free spirit turned boy scout. Albeit in a laid-back surfer kind of way, Andy is a strong, goal-oriented, creative problem solver. He’s the guy you want on your team when you don’t have the answer, and who says what no one else is willing to say. He’s a natural leader.
DALE (25-40, any ethnicity)
Dale is the quintessential surfer bum. He’s loyal to his crew, doesn’t have a job, and follows the waves. He steers clear of conflict (bad vibes dude!), and his main goal is to find the perfect/next wave.
Thanks!
