SUMMARY:"The Cigarette Surfboard" screening with filmmaker Ben Judkins (Kresge '17)
DESCRIPTION:Join Banana Slug alumni filmmaker Ben Judkins (Kresge ’17\, film and digital media) and “ciggy board” creator Taylor Lane for a screening of their award-winning documentary\, The Cigarette Surfboard (presented by the California Coastal Commission‘s Whale Tail Grant). \n5:00-6:00 PM | alumni meet & greet with light refreshments\n6:00-7:35 PM | film screening\n7:35-8:30 PM | filmmaker discussion\n8:30-9:00 PM | mingle \nREGISTER\nABOUT THE FILM\nAfter a young designer realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe\, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards become a platform to spark ocean stewardship and the symbol of a campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic\, plastic waste. Surfing is the medium\, but the message is universal. \nSmall decisions and actions\, like littering a cigarette butt\, cumulatively can have a large impact\, for better or for worse. This immersive documentary provides viewers an up close experience of the ocean through surfers’ eyes\, to amplify a message of urgency and possibility regarding the ocean’s wellbeing. As our ocean faces mounting threats\, and surfing continues to grow\, we as surfers have a responsibility to protect it. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER\nRaised in Northern California\, at age eight\, Ben Judkins found an old camcorder and discovered the medium to explore and create. After years of videotaping friends skateboarding and surfing\, Ben landed at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, majoring in Film & Digital Media. His senior film “Marshall” earned the Dean’s Award\, and also won “Best Locally-Produced Work” at the 2017 Santa Cruz Film Festival. Ben is an avid surfer who believes in the power of visual storytelling to move people to action. The Cigarette Surfboard documentary is an opportunity to inspire a generation of surfers to be stewards of the sea.
