Please Allow This Nineteen Year-Old’s Showreel To Sell You The (Western) Australian Dream

Here’s something to juxtapose all that exhausting North Shore hysteria currently saturating your feed. It’s a moody piece, part high performance, part motion travel brochure, shot entirely in Australia’s western state by nineteen year-old Meagan Williams.

The budding videographer fired Stab an email, hoping to get her 2017 showreel in front of a few more eyeballs. This is a common strategy for those in the production game, package up a link and blast out to anyone with any amount of power in the surf media world, cross fingers and hope for a post. Generally most don’t make the cut, instead receiving a brief reply of appreciation and a one way ticket to the trash folder. However, Meagan has us hooked with an impressive cast that included John Florence, Kolohe Andino, Jack Freestone, Mikey Wright, Owen Wright, Jack Robinson, Connor O’leary, Mitch Crews and Shaun Manners. After a spin it turned out they were only part of the attraction. Gorgeous shots featuring flora, fauna and the state’s dazzling landscape had us feeling almost as nostalgic as re-watching John’s unforgettable arcs at Margies.
