“Metal Neck” premieres in Costa Mesa

Metal Neck. Get to know it. It’s the new frontier of surf movies. Maybe. Or maybe not. But either way, it’s a new film from Andrew ‘Droid’ Doheny and Matt Tromberg, and also stars Creed McTaggart, Ford Archbold, Bobby Okvist, and most importantly it stars Metal Jimmy. There was a premiere for the film over the weekend at the Volcom Workshop, in Costa Mesa. Free food, free beer, of course, and nothing but a good time. Here’s what Droid told Stab about the party: “We had a really awesome showing, it turned out super fun. Everybody was drinking Coors Light, and we had Mexican food. I think Metal Jimmy had the best time out of everyone, possibly. No, actually, we all had equal amounts of fun. It was a super happy time. We had the Cosmic Forces playing. They’re like, psychedelic rock, I don’t even know, but it was funny. They were definitely a cosmic force. And obviously we showed the movie, which goes for about 35 minutes. It went down well, everyone seemed like they liked it a lot. Good feedback, f’sure.” Here’s the trailer. And, be sure to keep your eyes peeled on Stab for the full movie, dropping real soon.
