8-Bit to be Screened at the North Shore Surf Film Festival

The North Shore Film Festival will take place December 2-4th at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. Transworld Surf is screening all Imaginarium clips which includes our 8-Bit clip. If you are on the North Shore definitely mark this on your calendar!!!

Many of the films screened at the second annual North Shore Surf Film Festival have been nominated for the prestigious "Surfer Poll Awards" that will be taking place following the Festival on Dec. 6th. The Festival will provide a great insight to what films are out there vying for the coveted awards as well as an excellent film program for all to enjoy at the three day film festival taking place this coming weekend on Dec. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at the new venue SURFER the bar located at the Turtle Bay Resort.

The Festival is working to bring awareness to various national and local Hawaii non profits, most which are based within the surfing community and have an impact on the local North Shore community. Mauli Ola Foundation, North Shore Lifeguard Association, Rell Sunn Bronze Memorial and Guitars In The Classroom Hawaii will all be a part of the Festival and on site to share their vision.

Body Glove Wins 2011 Transworld Surf Imaginarium

Congrats to team Body Glove on winning the second annual ‘Imaginarium’ photo and video contest. The Body Glove team of Cheyne Magnusson and Alex Gray were on hand with VP of Marketing Scott Daley and directors Greg Browning and Scott Smith to collect the awards on Thursday September 22nd. Body Glove was awarded the prize during a raging party at Transworld Surf Headquarters packed with Body Glove supporters from all around SoCal. Body Glove's video and concept, 8 Bit, was voted by the Transworld Surf readers as the best and their photography was just enough to get them past Reef, Rusty, and Billabong. Congrats to our good friend, Chris Straley, who was awarded the “Best Photography” trophy for his efforts on Reef’s If A Reef Had Eyes project.

Catered by Daphne’s Greek, Primo beer, Kru vodka, and Monster Energy, bodies are still piled up in and around the building this morning. Thanks to all the teams for participating, we will see Body Glove next year when they defend their title as Imaginarium 2011 Champions!

Go to Transworld Surf and to see the winning video, photos and behind the scenes footage for Body Glove's 8-Bit and than you to the readers and the Transworld crew for the inspiration. We are already kicking around ideas for next year.
