EUROPEAN PREMIERE
The Life and Death of Westerly Windina (Dir. Alan White and Jamie Brisick) is the untold tale of one surfing’s most enigmatic figures. Peter Drouyn was a Rockstar character, driven competition surfer and innovative thinker. Combining intimate interviews and rare archival footage, the film highlights Drouyn’s seminal contributions while exploring the isolation and struggles he faced behind that swaggering public persona—and his eventual transition into Westerly Windina. Twelve years in the making this is an essential exploration of identity and unflinching query into selfhood.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alan White and renowned author and journalist Jamie Brisick, produced by House of Cards and Severence producers Beau Willimon and Jordan Tappis, The Life and Death of Westerly Windina is, “above all else about identity,” explains Brisick. “And one person’s deep search for and investigating of their truest self.”
“Astonishing…groundbreaking and important… much more than just another sporting hero biopic…” Tracks Magazine
