Exclusive screening of Thomas Campbell's surf film YI-WO

UM YEAH Arts and ((folkYEAH!!)) presents YI-WO, Thursday, September 18 at the Henry Miller Meorial Library

YI-WO is a prayer, a habitual ritualistic gaze into the depths of the vast unknowable. YI-WO is a celebration of very purposely selected forms of the connective water sliding pursuits. It's poem, a place to be or not to be untangled. A space for your time, to possibly honor the practice, this existence and the path's potential dimensional expansive qualities.

YI-WO was completed in 2025 and directed by Thomas Campbell.

The surfers documented in the film are Ryan Burch, Alex Knost, Craig Anderson, Karina Rozunko, Joel Tudor, Nick Melanson, Lauren Hill, Dave Rastovich, Ozzie Wright, Jared Mell, Trevor Gordon and Bryce Young.

The locations filmed are Fiji, Morocco, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Australia, Utah and California.

Shot predominantly on 16mm film by Thomas Campbell, Dave Homcy, Scott Soens, Chris Bryan and Tyge Landa among others.

Beer and wine will be available for purchase. Feel free to bring dinner — and a layer!
