"The Wedge" – A Documentary on Resilience and the Pursuit of Passion
The Wedge is a gripping documentary that explores the dangers and allure of one of California’s most notorious surf spots—Newport Beach’s The Wedge. Directed, filmed, and edited by Brent Weldon, the film features intimate interviews with surfers, bodyboarders, and water photographers, diving into the lives of five individuals who’ve faced the treacherous waves. Among them is a seasoned photographer who, after a near-fatal accident while capturing the waves, sustained severe injuries but continues his inspiring journey toward recovery and return to the ocean.
With breathtaking footage and personal stories, The Wedge showcases the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of conquering one of the most perilous surf spots in the world. At its core, the documentary is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and the unbreakable bond between athletes and the ocean.
Professional Surf Videographer
With 10 + years of experience as a professional surf videographer, I've had the privilege of capturing some of California's biggest waves, both in and out of the water. From shooting high-energy action to creating a documentary about the iconic Wedge, my work showcases a deep understanding of the sport and a passion for telling its story through the lens.
Taking my iPhone for a swim
This day was such a blast! I decided to leave my camera housing at home and have some fun with the new iPhone housing instead. The waves ended up being way better than I expected, and it turned into the perfect opportunity to experiment with a new setup. Being in the water, capturing the action from a fresh perspective, made the day even more exciting. It was a total switch-up from the usual routine, and I loved every minute of it, especially with those unexpected, epic waves.
