==Premiere and Awards== The surf documentary Lost Prophets – Search for the Collective debuted in fall of 2009 with two showings to crowds of over 1,000 surf and action sports film fans in Laguna Beach, California. After the premiere, the film embarked on a 15-city tour throughout North America, wrapping in late January 2010. Lost Prophets was nominated for "Best Cinematography" for Surfer Magazine's Surfer Poll/Video Awards '09,〔(Surfer's Village ), September 8, 2009〕 “Best Film” at (X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival ) (the action sports entity of Sundance Film Festival) and won “Best Original Score” for "its moody, highly unique music that created a soulful tone for the film about nomadic surfers."〔(X-Dance site ) 2010 winners〕 The film was directed by independent filmmaker Nathan Apffel and chronicles the lives of eight different surfers. Among them are (Reef McIntosh ), (Brian Conley ), (Dave Rastovich ), (Hans Hagen ), (Nole Cossart ), and (Chris Del Moro ), with narration by (Tom Morey ). Apffel directed and was part of a team that won an Emmy in 2008 for their work on (FiNS ), part of Fox Network's Fuel TV〔(Digital Content Producer, "Fade to Black" ) by Kristinha M. Anding, August 12, 2009〕 and he self-funded the Lost Prophets venture, which totaled over $150,000. The project is a testament to independent filmmaking. Director Nathan Apffel, along with Hans Hagen (professional surfer, Executive Producer, and Music Supervisor) poured over the project; the end product, a film that serves as a beacon for passionate independent filmmakers and artists. Lost Prophets "highlights surfers from around the world who are doing more than striving for a sponsor. They’re environmentalists, nonprofit organizers and spiritual people performing selfless acts..." 〔(The Coast News, Alyx Sariol, March 18, 2010 )〕 Outside Magazine writer Lisa Lombardi says the film "embraces the original notion of surfing as an escape, a joy, and a way to connect with nature...the movie is a gorgeous array of color, action, and editing."〔(Outside Magazine ), September 30, 2009〕 As of March 2010, more than 40,000 filmgoers have viewed the surf documentary. Through friends within the surf community, Apffel gathered backers who believed in his film’s message, including Kona Brewing Company, who helped fund the tour, as well as ZICO Coconut Water〔(Surfer Magazine, "ZICO signs on as sponsor of Lost Prophets" ) October 16, 2009〕 and XS. Pioneering surf mag ( Surfer Magazine ) also stepped in as media sponsor for the film, and Lost Prophets was shown in November, 2009 as part of Surfer's 50 year anniversary in Oceanside, CA.〔(Wetsand.com Oceanside's Huge Surf Festival to Celebrate 50 Years of Surfer Magazine ), November 11, 2009〕 ==Screenings and Film Festivals== After the North America tour, Lost Prophets was screened at a number of film festivals across the globe, including the Newport Beach Film Festival, (Greenroom Festival ) in Japan and Taranaki Arts Festival in New Zealand. Lost Prophets will also show at the Liquid Aloha Festival in San Diego in the summer of 2010. Apffel is currently directing a longer cut for the film with more narratives and is tailored more to a mainstream audience. 'So Cal natives Nathan Apffel and Hans Hagen's beautifully shot surf film that (we can vouch) transcends genre with a pure aesthetic that leaves even the most surf-shy viewer longing for the perfect tube.' Riviera Magazine 'Lost Prophets is among the most beautifully shot, well-edited and fully realized movies in this years Newport Beach Film Festival, let alone the action sports category.'
