FORMER presents DEFECT

DEFECT...A surf film by FORMER. Directed by founders Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson. Featuring the full FORMER surf team including Ben Howard, Shaun Manners, Jake Kelley, Jay Davies, Kaito Ohashi, Gabe Morvil, Dion Agius, Dillon Perillo, James Kusitino, Timo Simmers, Matt Hoy and Kai McKenzie. DEFECT has been a project of labour and one of love... but also one of liability. Over the course of making this film we've dealt with broken bones, snapped ligaments, punctured lungs, bleeding mouths, hospital waiting rooms, rehab sessions, and scars we're taking with us. But that all became part of the story. Premieres across the world. Theatres, cinemas, carparks and rooms filled with people who turned up to support this film. This film crossed oceans, filled hard drives, broke bodies, and took more than anyone expected. And now it's everyone's to enjoy. A full length film that documents a process that was anything but controlled, but turned out to be our most rewarding to date. Hope you enjoy CREDITS Presented — FORMER Produced — Dane Reynolds + Craig Anderson Directed — Dane Reynolds + Hunter Martinez Edited — Dane Reynolds + Hunter Martinez Runtime — 50 minutes Art Direction — Campbell Milligan Colour — Taylor Curran FEATURING Dane Reynolds Craig Anderson Ben Howard Shaun Manners Jake Kelley Jay Davies Gabe Morvil James Kusitino Timo Simmers Kaito Ohashi Dion Agius Dillon Perillo Matt Hoy Kai McKenzie FILMED Hunter Martinez Dav Fox Tom Jennings James Kates Jackson Jones Andrew Schoener Toby Cregan Jack Taylor Rex Mowday Tyge Lander Guy Macindoe Shuju Nihei MUSIC Chatterton — "Trick" Cujo — "Cat Song" Worlds Worst — "Challenger" POW! — "Switchboard Scientist" Written by Byron Blum, Melissa Burman and Aaron Diko Courtesy of Castle Face By arrangement with Terrorbird Media The Lavender Flu — "Those That Bend" Written and performed by Lavender Flu Bitch Magnet — "White Piece Of Bread" The Garden — "The Castle" Written by Fletcher Shears and Wyatt Shears Licensed courtesy of Wyatt Shears c/o Morris Music Frog — "Doom Song" Written by Daniel Bateman Performed by Frog on Tapewormies Records Spresso — "Chart" Written by Spresso Spresso — "They Started A Relationship With A Millionaires Wife" Written by Spresso Milk Cult — "Love Song" Sun City Girls — "Miss Majestic" Written by Alan Bishop Courtesy of Abduction Records — Alan Bishop Frog — "Ichabod Crane" Written by Daniel Bateman and Thomas White Performed by Frog on Audio Antihero Records KAN KAN — "Time Manager" Slaughterhouse — "Outro" Mila Culpa — "Comes From The Inside" Should — "Its Pull Is Slight" Written by Marc Ostermeier Courtesy of The Numero Group Think About You — "I Love You In A DJ Way" — The DEFECT collection is online now.
