Student administration assistant Ollie Banks is set to premiere his new surfing movie in Scarborough this week, it has emerged.
Nine Hundred Miles will provide viewers with a visually-centred documentary into the lives of North Sea surfers, reports the Scarborough Evening Telegraph.
No audio is featured in the film, with Banks preferring to depict his story through a pictorial account of the moment.
Members of the University of Hull's Scarborough campus have reportedly provided the soundtrack for the film under the tutorial eye of ex-Goldfrapp drummer and now music lecturer Rowan Oliver.
"It was a film born from mornings spent surfing alone or with good friends, a film about the fleeting moments in life, and the relationship to place and escape from self," Banks told the newspaper.
"I made the film because when I started surfing I became privy to a different way of seeing and feeling that seemed other-worldly," he added.
Additional screenings of independent films directed by surf filmmakers will also be screened at the New York Surf Film Festival in September, reports Global Surf News.
