The Drifter documentary now on DVD

Drifter Trailer from Poor Specimen on Vimeo.

The Drifter film just finished it's autumn tour around the United States and is officially making its way around the adventure and surf circuit. The film centers around the writings of legendary surfer Rob Machado and his time spent in the South China Sea, exploring, learning and well, drifting. More potently, however, the topic strikes home for any long term traveler or lover of the Pacific Island culture, and having been there myself I find the film engaging.

With what appears to be a limited tour and release, tracking the film down to see in theaters may be a bit of a challenge, but if you're inspired enough by the trailer to order the DVD, it looks like a solid documentary.
