ABOUT THE FILM: After their mother escapes from Sydney to Margaret River in the 1970’s, the two Kelly brothers spend their youth searching for the perfect wave. Out of necessity the family launches a backyard surf business ‐ re‐thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling merchandise out of their van.

Battling big waves, small town conservatism and criminals, the brothers give rise to a global brand. A story of passion, corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, DRIFT tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.

DRIFT is directed by Morgan O’Neill and Ben Nott and written by Morgan Oneil. Starring Myles Pollard, Xavier Samuel, Sam Worthington, Robyn Malcolm, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Aaron Glenane, Steve Bastoni, Maurie Ogden, Sean Keenan, Kai Arbuckle, and Harrison Buckland-Crook.  DRIFT is produced by Tim Duffy, Michele Bennett, and Myles Pollard. Executive Producers are Joan Peters and Peter Lawson.
