Directed and filmed by Aaron Lieber, “The Wild” featuring young surf talent Noah Beschen is the grand prize winner of the 2015 REDirect Surf Film Festival. With 11 filmmakers in the running, the competition saw RED hand-select and provide each one with a RED Dragon 6K high-definition camera, with 10 weeks of filming and four weeks of post-production given to produce a work of cinematographic art. While “The Wild” has little plot and no dialogue to speak of, it is easy to see why the four-person judging panel chose it as the winner, with its expertly executed shots, high production quality, breathtaking stunts by Beschen, and an overall emotive experience. Without further ado, make sure to watch the winning entry above in fullscreen.
