We are filled with gratitude + awe after an amazing weekend at 5 POINT FILM FESTIVAL.
We watched and felt the impact of so many stories that intertwined human endeavors with the natural world with the entire lineup, including two of our films: "Winter's Eve" in collaboration with EarthX and Kishi Bashi and "Running Up for Air" in partnership with Patagonia.
The festival was a celebration of the great outdoors and the indomitable human spirit. Every film was a reminder of our deep connection to Earth and a call to action to care for our home and each other.
Beyond the films, the real connections made and the memories formed (shoutout to the insane dodgeball competition!) made this experience unforgettable. 🙌
Our deepest thanks goes out to the phenomenal head of programming Charlie Turnbull for curating an event that goes beyond entertainment to nurture eco-consciousness.
gnarly bay is committed to crafting stories that matter, and being surrounded by like-minded creators and enthusiasts at 5 Point was such a great way to refuel and reignite our passion for telling stories for a better tomorrow.

We're thrilled to announce that gnarly bay's collaboration with Dickies® '4DWN' has been shortlisted for the Telly Awards! 🏆 This recognition means a lot to everyone involved — and stands as an inspiration for filmmakers and brands alike to shine a light on stories that inspire change.
4DWN, and the film itself, is at once punk, irreverent, and authentic. It is also organic, nurturing, and profound - reminding us of the abundance of positivity and hope that exists in the world. This skatepark-turned-urban farm, is brought to life through a beautiful, intimate, mixed-media approach that pays homage to the canon of skate films that came before it, chronicling the past and present lives of the park’s founders and one budding young skateboarder who finds kinship, camaraderie, and a reason to keep pushing.
Thanks to our partners at EarthX Film, Dickies, and WaterBear Network, who helped support this film and drive impact to the 4DWN foundation.
The Telly Awards are decided by public vote, so we encourage you to join us in voting for '4DWN'!
