July 16th, 2008 UPDATE
Sorry for the lame updates. But as most of you know, I'm busy with the weekly blog
at Ralph's Pic Of The Week. However, I do have some new news. And it's all good.
The movie projects are coming along. TEMPEST, GROOVEMASTERS and YESTODAY
are still in production but look for a Summer 08-Fall 08 release of the first two. We've all
been surfing and shooting as this Winter/Spring/Summer has been very active.And
that's a good thing. Heck, that's a great thing. Stay tuned...the movies are coming.

March 4th, 2008 UPDATE
Snow and surf. Hope you guys have been getting some. This Winter has been the best winter
since 2005. Easily the most consistent surf ever. I mean every week we've had waves.
You have to love this. We're close to getting the new hardware setup at the studios and once we do
we'll finish up with the editing chores. Meanwhile I hope you've been checking
out the Video clips each week at my CINNAMON RAINBOWS page.
I'll be checking back soon. Go surfing or go snowboarding!

January 13th, 2008 UPDATE
Hello my friends. I am sorry for the lack of updates here on the SFOD site.
The only excuse I really have is...I'm over there writing my weekly SURF Column on
Cinnamon Rainbows website called Ralph's Pic Of The Week.
I've been posting photos faster than you can say Nor'easter. And...I've been
posting video clips as well. Some 35 weeks worth. There are things
happening at SFOD that I need to clarify. First and foremost, we have
back ordered T-shirts for those who have been calling. And the movie list
has changed again. We are working on new SFOD movies as I write this.
The next SFOD movie looks like it will be THE TEMPEST a Violent Wind.
This flick will have the best from Tahiti, California and of course the main feature
as always will be New England. The Mike Moran Longboard movie
GROOVE MASTERS is our first ever New England Longboard flick is
still in the works. As is the YESTODAY flick.

Stay tuned as we will try to stay updated otherwise
got to my weekly column on www.cinnamonrainbows.com
Meanwhile, we hope you all have a GREAT 08!



August 25th, 2007 UPDATE
Hey guys I apologize for not updating this site like I do my others. I believe that most of you realize
by now that I write a weekly SURF Column on Cinnamon Rainbows website called Ralph's Pic Of The Week.
If you didn't know that, well, Now you do! I have been posting video clips each week as well.
Which brings me to this update. I plan on posting those clips here as well. I mean wgy the hell not?
That's what I do. Meanwhile, if you've never read my column or seen the photos I post on CR's site
it's time you do. Check it out and tell me what you think.

June 25th, 2007 UPDATE
NEW SFOD Gear being purchased. We will be purchasing the HVX 100 Panasonic HD camcorder.
It's time we stepped up and into the future. If 40% of the households today have HD TV's, we
need to address that with the latest gear. And by going HD we will be, at the very least, in step
with the rest of the surf world. So look for the next few projects to come out of SFOD
think tank as HD quality. We are currently working on five "New Projects".

1. GROOVE MASTERS The first ever New England Longboard flick featuring Mike Moran.

2. SECRET SURFERS local NE goofball surf flick featuring all the local players.

3. ONE The project that won't go away...the ONE movie is still the same concept.
One Day. One Swell. All Of New England. The only thing holding us back is that
one good summer swell. It must be Summer and it must be at least 6-8' and
it must be sunny and clean. Is that too much to ask?

4. BAS (Big Ass Surf). That's right every wave in this flick is overhead. And trust me, all the waves
in this baby are WAAAAY OVERHEAD. Shot all over the world.

5. YESTODAY. A movie about the history of surfing here in New England.
Featuring clips of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today.

NEW NORTH BY NORTHEAST review on www.nesUrfari.com
Check it out! Marc Angelillo writes his second SFOD Movie review.

January 7th, 2007
NORTH BY NORTHEAST has been well received by 100's of New England Surfers
and beyond. There's a possibility that we might take this movie on the Road.
Theatres in Central California caught wind of the movie and have requested several showings.
So maybe we pull a Bruce Brown/Jack McCoy and hit the road.
Meanwhile, if you want to get it or see it locally...check your Local Surf Shops (New England)
and on this website. Shot from October 2005 thru November 2006.
Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Cape Hatteras.
