Transgression and Subjectivity
In our panel presentation, I plan on talking about modern film and media and their influence on the surf culture, with a more in depth search on how it has affected surf videos. The videos I plan to use in my panel presentation are: "The Show" (Taylor Steele), "Tear Devils 1- 3" (Jesse Schluntz). These video in nature show the impact that such movies like "The Godfather", "The Sopranos", and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", have affected modern surf movies.

I also plan on interviewing Jesse Schluntz, the creator of Tear Devils trilogy and see what influenced him while creating these surf videos. In turn I plan on putting a reel together to pull out my major points on how modern film and media has influenced surf movies.
