Snakes and Surf Breaks

In search of waves and one of Indonesia’s most elusive reptiles, this film blends risky field research, road trip filmmaking and faux documentary into a moving story of friendship and obsession that explores our complicated relationships with each other and the natural world. An amateur team’s journey across the Indonesian archipelago in search of a cobra, takes them through some of the thickest tropical jungles, flooded caves, remote coastlines and dense urban sprawls of one of the world's fastest-growing countries. Capturing all the moments of tension, chaos and absurdity that comes with a wild and mostly unplanned chase.
