One Beach

September 20, 2011 | Words By:

Barefoot Wine proudly invites you to the premiere of One Beach, a film about creativity, optimism and fun at work on our coasts around the world.


Barefoot Wine proudly presents One Beach, a film that tells the personal stories of people who are using creativity and innovation to help keep the world’s beaches “Barefoot friendly.” Directed by renowned surf filmmaker Jason Baffa, the film profiles six passionate people who are working to help fix the global beach trash problem. The first installment of One Beach debuts on Facebook on September 20, 2011, with subsequent episodes posted weekly for five weeks following the premiere.

“We’re proud to unveil One Beach and are excited to share it with our foot fans around the world,” said Jennifer Wall, winemaker for Barefoot Wine & Bubbly. “The film is a celebration of our longstanding commitment to ‘barefoot friendly’ beaches and the people who keep them that way.”

Barefoot Wine was the presenting sponsor of the 2011 International Surfing Day and has been a supporter of Surfrider Foundation for more than 15 years, most recently through the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project.

How to View One Beach and Join the Facebook Premiere:
Starting at midnight on Tuesday, September 20th, the film will be available on the Barefoot Wine Facebook page. Please visit onebeachthefilm.com to join the fun!

Barefoot will host a live premiere event at 3:30pm PDT (6:30pm EDT) – this will include a live streaming Q&A with the director and cast as well as an introduction from Stephanie Gallo. Fans around the world will be able to participate in real time using a live chat feature.

    The idea is superb! However there seems to be a bit of a glitch in the sound…maybe they need lapel mics? Where it’s loud when some speak, you can hardly hear a couple of the others. .. and can’t hear the audience questions at all.

    Love the whole idea of this! I’ll be sharing it.
