Knot Future and the creators of The Bubble are proud to present the makings of their next full-length film project, VORTEX. For the past year, Tom Bridge, Xander Raith, and Noe Font have travelled the globe in an effort to highlight realities of the modern epoch, commonly referred to as the “present,” while showcasing kiteboarding as they see it, simultaneously intertwining their identities and the group dynamic that made the entire process so special. Take a glimpse, get sucked in, and enter their paradigm…
In a world of perpetual chaos, conflict, progression, regression, violence, happiness, love, beauty, and the contemporary sensations accompanying living, emblematic paradigms expand with appeal and contract with detachment. Some find themselves stuck in a paradigm they wish to escape from, some stumble into a paradigm fortuitously, and some choose a paradigm because of its allure, sucking them in like a magnet until they reach the epicentre and all that surrounds them spirals together and flows in distinct harmony. The word vortex, a noun, is defined as “a mass of whirling fluid or air, especially a whirlpool or whirlwind.” A vortex is boundless by nature. It’s quiet at its core, but its extremity rages, sucking one in until they reach the focal point; the eye of the storm and the heart of the whirlpool.
World Premiere January 9th, Cape Town, South Africa – stay tuned.
