We are pleased to announce the screening of "One California Day" as part of the Rincon International Film Festival. From the filmmakers who brought you Singlefin: yellow, DRIVE and Stylemasters, comes a story about surf culture and tradition. Co-directed by Jason Baffa (Single Fin Yellow) and Mark Jeremias (DRIVE), "One California Day" is a visual journey through six distinct coastal regions, capturing the California surfing experience through the surfers who live it. Shot in brilliant super 16mm color film, the movie examines the variety of subtle differences that make California so unique. RIFF feels that this film will be a welcome addition to the lineup of great independent films screening in the surfing and vacation paradise of Rincon.
