Koldcast.tv and North Air Entertainment Announce Surfing Show - The Breaks
The Breaks is a series focused on a group of athletes rising through the ranks of the professional surfing world. They struggle with personal injuries, rival competition as well as the competitive nature of the world of Sponsored Surf.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) January 16, 2014 - Set your calendars, on January 23rd (Thursday) 9am. THE BREAKS promotes its series on the internet platform Koldcast - The Other TV Network. The Breaks, is a narrative look at the professional surf industry; starring John Ierardi, Amy Paffrath, Zach Block, Darrell Cherney, & Machi Block, and directed by Will Wernick.
John Ierardi, fresh off of his co-starring role with Candace Accola in The Truth About Angels, and an appearance on CSI, stars as Tyler and Amy Paffrath, who just wrapped hosting Jersey Shore: After Hours on MTV and fresh off a well-received guest-starring role on Two Broke Girls with Kat Dennings & Beth Behrs, plays his love-interest Vanessa. This is a coming of age story that follows the lives of professional surfers living & breathing the life that others only dream of. Conceptualized and executed by brothers Zachary Block & Machi Block, who also co-star, this story takes hints from the surf-culture that they live & breathe in their daily lives.
"I felt that there was a significantly empty space in the 'entertaining' sector of entertainment. My motivation for creating the show was to bring about a feeling of summer fun and friendship set in an exciting and already infamous setting. At least once in everyone's life they want to be a Southern California kid. Whether you're from Montana, Canada or Thailand, surfing culture has no doubt reached you and stricken you with the contagious desire to put away life's baggage and hit the beach." Said Zachary. This duo was matched perfectly with the vision of director, Will Wernick, who took the script and added his vision to create an episodic structure that is both intelligently executed and very true to what this world holds valuable and close to their hearts. It makes for one great story.
"From the first time I read the script for The Breaks, I was immediately drawn in, not just by the exciting world the show creates, but by the tight knit group of friends we get to know as we watch the story unfold. Surfing is of course an important part of the show, but I wanted to make sure we made something that even non-surfing fans could enjoy, relate to, and get excited about. Our Southern California is the one we all dreamt about living in. The fame, the girls, the sun, and the sand; set in a surf scene that we haven't seen on screen for a long time." Said director, Will Wernick.
In addition to great movie-making talent behind this project, buzz has already been generated throughout the surfing scene. In addition to pro-surfers supporting, many companies have jumped on board to be featured on the show, including Jeep, Von Zipper, Freegun, Elevated Clothing Co. and Live 2 Shred, just to name a few. "Jeep has been looking for a surfing program like this for a long time…" - CHRYSLER BRAND MANAGER. The community that lives in this world, always supports these brands and The Breaks is no different. Each of these companies jumped on board when they heard the concept and are more than willing to support what this team is doing.
Drew McAnany, from DrewsWerd.com, was on set to capture behind the scenes and had this to say: "The Breaks introduced me to a world that I was not aware existed. These characters & the actors just enhanced for me, what makes some pretty amazing television. I cannot wait to see how this story will grow and change."
