Sebastian Beach: One Fine Day is an original film that evokes a sense of having been made by two people that stumbled upon a movie camera in the wilderness. Their language of innocent play tinged with a sweet optimism is reminiscent of the 1960s. —Drew Kampion Sebastian Beach One Fine Day is a retro style "surf film documentary" that focuses on a small stretch of beach that is located in Sebastian Beach, Florida. Billy and Anais Yeager return to the state of Florida after spending 3 years in the desert creating the film 'Jesus of Malibu' and visit the place where Billy grew up and where he also learned how to surf when he was 16 years old. Before they decide to film this documentary, they start to watch some of the older surf films produced in the 1960s that were more about the spirit and soul of surfing. Noticing the progressive and aggressive attitudes of modern surfing, competition, corporations, sponsors and localism, Billy and Anais decide to make a film about the throwback days of the late 1950s and 1960s. They build and small beach shack on the ocean, where they camp out while surfing together and filming anything that comes within the 3 mile radius of their small, remote and serene location. Billy and Anais discover a dead sea turtle and take the turtle with them to play specific sacred geometric wave frequency music to it. Filmed in real time, the turtle is revived and released into the ocean. —Chelsy Graph
