Cluster, on the night
Kai Neville puts $$$ on surfer’s contracts. His stamp of approval (aka final cut of each film) is enough to make negotiation time a little easier for his tight cast. And there’s a reason for this: He’s become the Taylor Steele of his gen, an easy but appropriate comparison, in that (most of) the best surfers in the world right now wanna do their best surfing for his lens. Each new film nudges the performance bar. And so when Kai launches a new film, it’s worthy of much noise-making and celebration and overindulging and a big premiere with lots of people! Which is just what happened a week ago at the Ace Hotel in downtown LA for his latest, Cluster. And, Stab was on hand to document all parts of the party, including the morning after (which is when you’ll see an impressively lucid Kai chatting on the rooftop of the Ace, where the whole squad had rallied again). This micro-doco will make you feel some type of way, and do little to diffuse your need to see this goddamn film already. Video by Toby Cregan
