BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Anchor Bay Entertainment’s award-winning film about surfing and second chances, THE PERFECT WAVE, has been awarded a red carpet screening at the upcoming Kingdomwood Christian Film Festival.  Based on true events, this inspiring film follows avid surfer and future ordained minister Ian McCormack on his travels to find the perfect wave.   A visually stunning film shot in exotic locations such as New Zealand, Bali, Indonesia, South Africa and the island of Mauritius, THE PERFECT WAVE stars Scott Eastwood (Trouble with the Curve, the upcoming Fury), Rachel Hendrix (October Baby), Cheryl Ladd (“Charlie’s Angels”), and Patrick Lyster (“Black Sails”).

 

Scott Eastwood – son of screen legend Clint Eastwood – delivers a breakthrough performance as Ian McCormack, a rebellious young surfer who impulsively decides to leave home and travel the world’s most exotic surf spots.  But living in the moment can have its thrills – including a romance with beautiful kindred soul Annabel (Hendrix) – as well as its sacrifices.  And following a horrific accident and near-death experience on the island of Mauritius, Ian receives a glimpse into eternity that will change his life forever.  An inspirational true story, the film shares the power of faith, the love of family, and one man’s search for THE PERFECT WAVE. The film’s talented cast also features award-winning professional surfers, Matt Bromley and Rosy Hodge.

 

THE PERFECT WAVE will kick off the Kingdomwood Festival on October 2 with a red carpet premiere at the host Beach House Hotel beginning at 6:30pm. In the spirit of the film, the festival will host a bonfire on the beach immediately following the screening.  The film’s director Bruce Macdonald and producer Craig Jones will be traveling to the United States from their homes in South Africa to participate in this special festival event.
