Taylor Steele is a man of many passions.

The dedicated father and acclaimed surf filmmaker turned Tequila connoisseur has tapped into his incredibly deep pool of resources to put on the first-ever Solento Film Festival. Hosted at Encinitas’ La Paloma Theater September 22nd-24th, this three-day event will feature hyped-up surf films new and old. With a who’s-who of surfing’s elite in attendance, it’s safe to say that the event will be a must-see. And while this may be Solento’s first event of this nature, it surely won’t be their last.

So far, the guests in attendance are none other than Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Mick Fanning, Kalani Robb, Pat O’Connell, Donavon Frankenreiter, Pat Stacey, Dane Gudauskas, Benji Weatherley, Gigi Lucas…

As for programming, those in attendance can expect to see the following films and speakers:

Wednesday 22nd September | 6-10pm

Drive-Thru Interactive (Films + Q+A with Cast) + Reckless Isolation | Short Films | Panel Conversations | Giveaways

Special Guests: Drive-Thru cast + Surprise Guests
