Peruvian-born Mario Testino has launched SIR, a book about his search to define the allure of men. “The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way
that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It
is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man’s
personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.” - Mario Testino

Instant vintage kits, crunchy denim and a Peruvian vicuña all feature
prominently in THE JEANMAKER, which follows a celebrated denim designer –
the Howard Hughes of the denim industry – hell-bent on ‘out-Vintaging’
the competition. But as the collection launch nears, his unwillingness
to compromise leads him to personal disaster. THE JEANMAKER is
the second film in Denham’s ‘Explicit Remake’ series in which the denim
brand re-imagines cinematic classics transforming them into sharp
contemporary parables. “Working with Denham the last few years I’ve
learned that jeanmaking is primarily about obsessing the details,” says
director Hugo Keijzer, who conceived the Explicit Remake series and
created THE JEANMAKER with production company Mike TeeVee and writer
John Weich. “But just when you think you’ve got this perfect
uncompromised product you get sidetracked by new ideas. This short film
captures the moment when you lose control of your creation.” “These
short films are our slightly absurd way of exploring our inner denim
demons,” adds Jason Denham, the brand’s founder and namesake. “It’s
great to see the passion we put into our jeans return in the film.” CREDITS: Remake written by John Weich Directed by Hugo Keijzer Produced by Ellen Utrecht Cinematography by Robbie van Brussel Production Design by Simon Bowles Edited by Nils Rensen Costume by Denham the Jeanmaker

At only 18, Jeremy Flores was the youngest surfer to be on the WCT,
the world's surfing elite. Surrounded by a team of professionals and an
entire nation, Jeremy even won the most prestigious of competitions, at
Pipeline Hawaii, in 2010. But the pressure, criticism, and his fiery
temperament eroded little by little his hopes of becoming world
champion. At the end of his tether, on July 13, 2014 at JBay in South Africa,
after losing a heat, Jeremy Flores immediately contested his score with
the judges, in what was deemed a verbal assault by the World Surfing
League. As a result of his actions, Flores received a one-month ban from
the competition for bringing the sport into disrepute. This film was
shot during his hiatus in Tahiti. Nowadays, Jeremy Flores has rediscovered what he loves doing most in
the world - surfing. Sebastien Zanella, the editor of Desillusion
magazine, followed the man during his forced holiday break, resulting in
an outstanding documentary, from hell to heaven, an atmospheric
peer-review where Jeremy tells his story, with no concessions.
