FREE AS A DOG


Pubblicato in data: 21 Jun 2006

– Billabong Jack McCoy Film Festival is coming back to the big screen this summer with ‘Free as a dog’ -

Following two successful tours, Billabong and surf film maestro, Jack McCoy are taking surfing to the big screen again with their new film titled Free As A Dog - a true dog’s tale.

Free as a dog - A true dog’s tale is the new Billabong film staring Joel
"Parko" Parkinson and his faithful hound, Trey. As seen through the eyes of the ever-loyal Trey, who is also the film’s narrator, the remarkable surfing talent of Joel Parkinson is showcased like never before.

"It's an honour to be able to work with a surfer of this calibre. Parko is just so easy going and a regular good guy. From there the film title developed naturally as Parko and his dog Trey represent the true nature of the title," Jack McCoy reflects.

Starring alongside Parko will be Northern NSW grommets James Wood and Ellis Ericson, both of whom are earmarked to be the bright future of Australian surfing. Ellis and James play the token surf trip grommets, which have a tendency to be distracted by beautiful beach babes. For the past year Parko, Jack, Ellis and Woody have been chasing banks, swells and whispers all over the Australian coast, scoring some of the sickest sessions to go down in 2005.

Parko and Trey set off on a mission to help get a couple of groms
(played by James "Woody" Wood and Ellis Erickson) back in line after they've gone off the rails in classic teenage puppy-love mode, fantasising about a beautiful dark-haired beauty played by Billabong free surfer Ashley Cheadle.

Free as a Dog - A true dog’s tale is the 24th film in a long line of classic
surfing films by Jack McCoy. After its World Premier on January 2, 2006, at Sydney’s State Theatre, Free as a Dog is now travelling internationally with the Billabong Jack McCoy Surf Film Festival until August 2006. Be sure to scamper along to check out Free as a Dog when it comes to your town.

The Billabong Jack McCoy film festival will screen throughout Europe during summer 2006, touring across the UK, Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. Over the past two years, the tour has gathered enthusiastic surfing fans across Europe.
