Your Film on Our Big Screen 🎬

Shot something that deserves a crowd? Dawn patrol edits, backyard-break sessions, old family Super 8 transfers, shaper-room docs, wipeout reels: we’ve saved a seat in the SuFu Theatre lineup for filmmakers like you. Picked films get their own spot on the list, a full credit with your name and links, and a shout-out on our socials.

Send it to gibvids@sufu.niceislife.com with a link to your video (YouTube, Vimeo, or a download link for big files), the title, your name or handle, and where and when it was shot.

  • It has to be your own work, or you have the rights to share it, music included.
  • Anyone clearly on camera has agreed to be in it, and no minors without a parent’s OK.
  • Keep it surf, beach and stoke: no nudity, hate or dangerous stunts.
  • You keep all rights. Sending it just lets us show it on the Theatre with credit, and we’ll pull it any time you ask.

We watch every clip but can’t feature them all. If yours makes the cut, we’ll email you before it goes up.
