As part of Duke's Day this coming January at Freshwater Beach, Jack McCoy will be presenting his award-winning film A Deeper Shade Of Blue. Admission is free, so come and watch it outdoors on a massive HD screen. There will also be an amazing opportunity for an emerging filmmaker to win a Panasonic GH4 camera valued at $2,999 in the Duke's Shorts Video Exhibition.    

All you have to do is create a short surf film telling a story in the most creative way possible.   

The Duke's Shorts guidelines are simple:

•  Films to be 3-5 minutes long.

•  Tell a story that includes "our community's love and respect for the ocean and the environment", and/or something that includes Duke Kahanamoku.

•  Enter your high res QuickTime file of your film before December 10, 2014.

The finalists will have their films shown before A Deeper Shade Of Blue with the winner of the camera being announced on the night.
