The Calm: Documentary about Surf Photographer Brian Bielmann

Director MP Cunningham got a chance to go to the North Shore and spend a couple days with surf photographer, Brian Bielmann (website). At age 18 he packed his bags and, with two hundred dollars in his pocket, headed to Hawaii, and he has never looked back. This video gives just a small glimpse of what you can accomplish if you never give up on your dreams.
