A thoroughly entertaining history lesson dedicated to the legend that was Shawn “Barney” Barron, featuring Bruce Irons, Ozzie Wright, Pete Mel, Darryl “Flea” Virostko, heaps of glorious archive footage of Barney himself, and more. If you watch just one thing today, make it this:
“A candid film collage celebrating the incomparable Shawn “Barney” Barron. Not only was Barney the innovative surfer who’s acrobatic agility perfectly matched the superhero wetsuits he often wore, he was also an artist, comedian, son, brother, and true friend who lived and breathed laughs and creativity into everything he did. Despite the challenges of his bipolar disorder, he maintained an infectiously positive attitude, irrefutable love for life, and endless generosity that brightened the lives of all who knew him. His spirit reminds us that now is all we have… It reminds us to live now to the fullest.”
