Taking a short break from Camp Gargyle, Eric and I review The Crest, the most recent documentary from Mark Christopher Covino. The Crest is a heartwarming documentary about two cousins who share a love of surfing who meet for the first time as they discover more about the history of their family and the similarities they share with their ancestry on the Blasket Islands in Ireland. While The Crest is seemingly drastically different from Mark's previous documentary, A Band Called Death, both films share a central theme of family and leaving a legacy for the future by connecting with the past. With beautiful cinematography, an engrossing score, and a heartwarming tale, The Crest is a film that can, and should, be enjoyed by everyone!!
