Fading West

Inspired by films including Rattle and Hum and The Endless Summer, Fading West follows Grammy-winning band Switchfoot as they travel the globe in search of new musical inspiration and perfect waves. Filmed during Switchfoot's 2012 World Tour, Fading West charts the creation of the fivesome's upcoming album in its earliest and most unpredictable stages. As the band visits legendary surf breaks in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Bali, brothers Jon and Tim Foreman breathe fresh life into their songs by harnessing the spirit of their surroundings and mining new emotional depths. Part rock documentary, surf film, and travelogue, Fading West offers rare glimpses of the longtime surfers on their boards, captures the frenetic energy of their live shows, and portrays a journey both epic and intimate. From Megeve to Slovenia, passing by the southern Alpes, this film shows us the diversity of the sport, which is what Freestyle is all about. The man behind the project and the camera is our young talented skier/director Andy Collet who tells his story, his experience and his love for the sport through an adventurous, uplifting documentary film.
