Beehives & Bottomturns

A short film exploring the connection between beekeeping and climate, featuring local surfer/beekeeper Tom from Coastal Nectar as he shreds the local waves, educates Bellbrae Primary and teaches us about all things bees. This film showcases the synergy between bees and the environment while capturing the spirit of surfing.

After the documentary, Coastal Nectar was named Business of the Year at the 2025 Torquay Business Awards.

The night featured a Q & A with Tom and live music from Grim Fawkner.

All Things Seaweed

We crafted this event to also be a ‘launch party’ to support the Bells Beach Film Festival. The film is a conversation between local surf activist Belinda Baggs and local seaweed farmer Scott Elliott from Immersion Group as Belinda bodysurfs a local break.

We held a Q and A with Scott, all about the miracles of seaweed in the fight for a sustainable climate and another Q & A with Dr Prue Francis from Deacon talking about Kelp farms and their awesome impact on the climate.

The night also featured seaweedy cocktails and snacks, live music from Solar Wax, and a live art installation by local artist Martine Oderio, involving sustainably sourced seaweed from Scott's seaweed farm. SOLD OUT

Too Cold To Surf - A Sustainable House Doco

Anders just wants to go surfing, but his mate Billy's house is too cold. This problem is the core of "Too Cold To Surf - A Sustainable House Doco," a funny and weird film about heating and cooling homes on the Surf Coast. Made by locals, for locals, it’s a quirky comedy/adventure that feels like the Temu version of The Endless Summer 2.

The documentary follows Anders on a quest to find solutions for Billy's icey house. He explores a local Passivhaus, checks out different solar panel options, and even dives into the rights renters have when it comes to heating. It’s a great mix of practical advice and silliness, showing how even a house can be made comfortable and energy-efficient. And of course, features a whole lotta surfing.

The event night had live music from Solar Wax, Q&A's, raffles, and was a fun, epic night. SOLD OUT
