SYNOPSIS: Surfing since as young as he can remember,  at the age of 13, Sage (played by Sage Burke) is crippled by fear  after suffering a wipeout on a huge wave.  The wave slammed him to the bottom and held him  pinned there without air until he nearly died. With his whole life still ahead of him  yet now paralyzed by fear,  Sage no longer surfs the waves.  But unable to ignore the mystical and  powerful pull of the ocean,  he fishes in the surf,  and finds more than he bargained for. This is the story of a teenager who confronts fear . . .   WATCH THE TRAILER   SURFER©: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR is the passion project from writer / director / composer / actor Douglas Burke, whose intensely passionate and spiritual opus has been captivating midnight movie audiences since its theatrical release earlier this year.

What is certain is that the film is provoking a fascinating response, and the movie’s life as a cult film has only just begun.
