They’re somewhere between comedic genius and surreal, feverish nightmares. Raw. Authentic. Fun. But always creative — with a smiley, fucked up twist. Volcom films challenge us, and make us remember surfing is whatever crazy thing you want it to be. And it’s always backed up by the most legit action you can compile.

We sat down with one of the guys who’s been behind a lot of that in the surf films. His name is Ryan Thomas but he goes by RT. He’s as passionate a filmmaker as you’ll find. He has vision and the ability to bring that vision to life, no matter what the circumstances. And like Mitch Coleborn told us the other night, what he’s created with Psychic Migrations is going to blow our mind yet again.

Psychic Migrations is out in September. Above watch Part 1 of our look into the history of Volcom’s film pantheon. And in anticipation of the new film, watch two of the best below, BS! and Creepy Fingers.
