Quotes
Robert August: It's goofy people havin' fun, you know, ridin' a wave, no rules. You know, people can relate to that and think, "Oh God, would that be fun, you know, if me and my friends could do that, you know." And a lot of people are doin' it these days, you know. They work like hell and save some money, get a couple of friends, and they go do that.

A 'Making Of" Movie

Bruce Brown, Robert August, and others take about the making of the two Endless Summer movies, with clips from the movies, unused clips from the movies, and a few clips from Brown's home movies.

There are plenty of 'making of' movies. Most are made to serve as trailers for the movie, to get people het up for the release. Others are made as home video extras, to amuse people who get obsessed with whatever film they're making. For those interested in film generally, it shows something of the process of making one.

This one satisfies the criteria for the second description. It also serves as a celebration of Brown.
