Hey, what's up? David Scales here, bringing you a little midweek episode, kind of an abbreviated

0:06.9

episode. The London Surf Film Festival is now the lockdown surf film festival, rather than canceling

0:15.7

their event this year. Due to COVID-19, they are actually hosting it online. And so that kind of makes it better for everyone.

0:23.5

It's not a communal experience only for those in London, as it is usually.

0:29.2

It is a communal experience for all of us around the world to participate in.

0:34.1

So they're doing different screenings for about a two-week period.

0:40.1

And having different people from surf media interview the filmmakers. They asked me to interview Nathan Myers, who is now the

1:51.3

conversation. I hope that you're thriving and doing well during this COVID crisis. Hopefully

1:56.5

you're still employed and you are well and your family as well. I'm going to be bringing

2:00.6

you as much

2:01.1

content as I can through this downtime. So some of them will be short episodes like this.

2:05.9

So look forward to that for the next couple of weeks. I'll be on the grit tomorrow with
