Very Young girls in beauty pageants - Just speaking this phrase aloud can garner objections from feminists and mothers, and it's the subject of this short documentary. But the practice of competing for "prettiest" isn't always as insidious as it might seem. I edited this documentary in 2009.

Surf Escape

Surf Escape from Rebecca Adams on Vimeo.

Surf Escape is a documentary I made in 2009, following a group of Texas surfers up and down the Third Coast for about a week. In this doc, the main character, Christine, explains why surfing is not only a sport, but can be a spiritual experience. Her personal take on surfing as a meditation shows that the shallow, beach-bum stereotype of surfers doesn't always hold true.
