Rare is the surf movie that's eagerly anticipated; the 'net is so full of content that we rarely want for more imagery or stories.

Yet over the last decade, Ishka Folkwell and Torren Martyn have carved out a singular niche within surfing. Didn't appear to be trying either. The pair just went, surfed, filmed, then bunkered at home editing their footage for a single release, defying social media's rule of everpresent posting.

In spite of this - or perhaps even because of it - they've made a lot of fans along the way, and right now they await the imminent release of 'Calypte: A sailing and surfing voyage'. Produced by needessentials, 'Calypte' captures Torren and Aiyanna "living on the ocean, chasing waves, and travelling with the wind" during a year-long trip through Indonesia.

Premiere dates are as follows:

Byron Theatre - November 17th - 5.30pm & 8.00pm - Pre-purchase tickets online
Yamba Cinema - November 19th – 6.00pm – Pre-purchase tickets at the venue
Harbord Hotel Freshwater - November 20th – 7.00pm - Pre-purchase tickets online
Avoca Cinema - November 22nd – 7.00pm - Pre-purchase tickets online
Thornbury Picture House Melbourne - November 28th  - 6.15pm & 8.00pm - Pre-purchase tickets online
Newport Surf-In Cinema, presented by SurfAid - November 29th  - 7.00pm - Tickets at the venue on the night
Lorne - December 2nd - Ticket details coming soon

All proceeds from these events will be donated to SurfAid to help with their work to improve the health, wellbeing and resilience of remote communities in Indonesia.
