drift, perspectives in surfing

In a style of film making more akin to John from Cincinnati or My Own Private Idaho, Jesus of Malibu joins the rather small and exclusive list of surf related feature films such as Big Wednesday, In God’s Hands, and North Shore.

Jesus of Malibu is the feature film written, produced, directed, and performed by husband and wife team William and Anais Yeager who spent the last 5 years developing their unique story.
The films story and development began 6 years ago on a surf trip to Costa Rica , where Yeager fasted in the jungles for 30 days on nothing but water, spending his time alone in solitude trying to decide what his next project would be about.

Yeager thought to himself, what if Jesus was to return to modern day times, and what if he was dismayed at the condition of the world and didn’t feel like witnessing to the lost, but only wanted to surf? As a surfer he witnesses crowded line-ups , sticker covered boards, competitions bad vibes and water pollution, and so for Jesus of Malibu, the ocean, surfing and Malibu is just a distant memory.

As a humanitarian, Jesus of Malibu feels that the world has gone mad, and he wants nothing to do with it, instead he creates a pirate radio station tapping into the radio airwaves where he rants on his desert radio show about the freedoms, (and lack of) , stupidity, apathy, and ignorance of man.

2010′s version of a modern day prophet

William Yeager; ” The films character Jesus of Malibu, would be an incarnation of Miki Dora meets Howard Beale from the movie Network, with a splash of George Carlin”.
