Set to ride the waves of successive film festivals, The documentary, about exploitation of Rottnest Island’s natural resources, is swimming around the globe without a hint of tiring.
A Fish Tale also screens in the finals of the Los Angeles Short Film Festival before making its way to the finals of the Hawaii Film Festival. A quick aloha and then the long swim across the Pacific to New Zealand for the finals of the ‘Show Me Your Shorts’ festival is just a warm up for this punchy little doco.

some of Margaret River's well known surf. The event was broadcast live to 48 countries and 1 billion viewers worldwide
A special mention we feel must go to the sponsors and administration involved in
the running of this event,
as it was a breathe of fresh air to see such an important,
home grown event, so well executed with true diligence.
We interviewed many of the competitors, getting feedback on what they
think of Australia, surfing in Australia and our pristine coast lines.

Amy Donaghue

among dozens of other world class Surfers.

Music - Bourbon Sprawl
Bourbon Sprawl was initially formed in mid 2005 by Bandana Man, Simon In Japan & Mambo... By early 2006 Mambo had left the band. Drummerless & drunk, Bourbon Sprawl scoured the gutters and found Rusty Red-Can as a replacement.. In January 2007, Bourbon Sprawl went on a bender to begin another bender and when they came to, they discovered there was now a fourth member to the band. This was the lead vocalist El Brad Borracho.
On June 29th Bourbon Sprawl played to a packed house at the Swan Basement renowned for unearthing some very savvy local talent. Black Pearl was there to capture the boys in live style, which will be uploaded to their Myspace site in the near future.
