To Go Back San Clemente Times Web Site Click Here On Saturday, February 20, Cabrillo Playhouse in San Clemente hosted a screening of student films concluding the first-ever San Clemente Amateur Surf Film Workshop. The workshop took place last summer and featured a week-long series of teaching sessions featuring industry experts including how to write and produce a surf film. Three groups of students submitted a final film for review, each of which was screened Saturday night. The winning short film was “Off to Cardiff,” written, shot and edited by Wiley Archbold, Bleu Archbold and Leilani Harrison. The Archbold’s are related to pro surfer Matt Archbold. The film is a documentary format chronicling the teenagers’ journey to Cardiff for a day of surfing. Wiley and Leilani are 10th graders at San Clemente High School, while Bleu is in 8th grade at Bernice Ayer Middle School.
Other finalists were Quinn Birtles’ “Game Time is Over,” a short film detailing a video gamers’ obsession for video surfing and his friends’ efforts to get him to surf “for real.” Quinn, a 7th grader at Vista Del Mar, wrote the film with Bernice Ayer 6th graders Kenny O’Connor and Elan Struble. John Balen’s “Riptide” rounded out the screening session. Balen, an 8th grader from Los Angeles’ Berkeley Hall School, made his film about how a new surfer learned to love surfing one day despite being caught in a riptide. Balen’s grandmother Joy Schultz lives in San Clemente, and he spent a week in town taking part in the surf film workshop.
“This was a really fun experience,” said Wiley. “Just learning new things and meeting new people.”
