Off Rip

"OFF RIP," is a Film that will inspire anyone that ever had a dream, of achieving success in a sport that you personally wanted to attempt to play growing-up!

The story goes and shows and expresses most of the negativity that high school athletes/students are overwhelmed with and encumbered with, while navigating the growing pains of our youth.

"OFF RIP," is about a High School kid wants to help his mother pay the bills and keep the house for his younger brother, that they grew-up in. Using 'Skimboarding,' as the sport, Chris's character works tirelessly to win some tournaments to make some money working for it.

This Film is raw and real and filmed on the beaches of Pinellas County Florida, where the Hurricanes of 2024 destroyed the entire area, so this movie is also a time capsule of a sort.

It's funny and exciting and a blueprint for future sports film makers to abide by, if they want to make a successful film for all ages! And it's never too late to be inspired to do anything!

Hands down the most heart felt journey I've seen in a while, with sick Skim Boarding footage that has never been seen with such vibrant colors, cinematography & focus, energy & a musical score that brings you into the skim culture beautifully.

Skim boarding is an art form, done as a dance with the ocean waves in such a way that makes you feel like you are right there on the beach, with the sand in your toes & breathing in the salty air.

If you've never experienced skim boarding or if it's a part of your life, this will light you up in ways you didn't know were dark.

This is the heart of our hero's journey that keeps you engaged from the beginning.

For a young filmmaker to write, direct, edit and star in his own film at such a young age with a small budget is an incredible feat. Jadon Cal is a promising talent and filmmaker.

This film has loads of heart and some great performances. I believe the actor who played Brent, David Hamzik, is a future great. Every scene he is in is so alive. You can't take your eyes off him.

You can't help but feel for the main character, Chris, who seems to be living in a deteriorating world. He is losing people to drugs, but his love for skim boarding and protecting his little brother gives him purpose.

The film does a great job settling into itself and transporting you to this little Florida town.

This movie made me tear up and get emotional at least three times all thanks to Jadon's incredible acting chops. There are so many funny lines and hilarious moments throughout the film. The intense moments had me gripping my seat. The cinematography really pulled me into the film with so many beautiful shots and imagery. The subject and themes are all relatable and I connected with so many of the characters and found myself rooting for them. This movie has a beautiful message and reminded me what's important in life. I was so impressed by the acting from the entire cast and I can't wait to see them all in future projects.

Phenomenal film! I can't remember watching a film recently that has made me feel as much as I have watching this. I loved the story, and the visuals were amazing! Literally felt like I was in the world with the characters! So glad to see personal stories being told with beautiful lessons on life, love, and family, without it being sugarcoated but showing the real struggles and pressures people are going through. Such an amazing job by the cast and crew! The chemistry was incredible and the acting was superb! The film finished and I wanted to see more of these characters! Maybe a show? 👀! But I love it all together. Phenomenal job by everyone involved!
