Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Sometimes the water turns brown and it rains all day and dead cows wash up onto the shark infested beach you’re surfing. And if you’re there to document this, and you’re Riley Blakeway, you’re stoked, because something unique has happened. You have a hook. It is usually your nightmare and your dream come true all at once. And if you’re lucky, as Riley seems to have been, the guys you’re there filming take a look at those same conditions and decide to go fucking looney in the muddy water. And that always helps.
This is called The Devil’s Teeth and stars Chippa Wilson, Nate Tyler and Brendon Gibbens. It is Riley Blakeway’s contribution to the vault of our new series: The Auteurs and it is very well done.
