From the lens of the very talented and very Australian human, Riley Blakeway comes his latest in a string of slightly off-beat yet very well executed short films and rip clips, a short film/documentary THOM- A Portrait of Modern Youth .

The film is about the existence of another Australian human being, 19 year old Thom Pringle, a budding surf star cut from a slightly more interesting cloth.

In the words of Mr. Blakeway: "A short, experimental documentary piece about a 19 year old teen growing up in Australia- Exploring the mind of modern youth and Generation Y."

Riley's inspiration for the film came from a 70's American documentary about a boy raised by hippies in the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco.

Here she is, in her glory below, and also check out this digi-zine thing he crafted to accompany the project.
