Monkey Wrench Films mourns the passing of one of the greatest musical legends of all time, @bobweir. This news is especially tough as we are in the midst of our theatrical release of the Grateful Dead-themed documentary, “Mountains of the Moon”. While our gut tells us to give space and allow everyone to grieve privately, we are at the same time inspired by messages from around the country, from Deadheads and adventure film lovers alike, who are passionately imploring us to continue with the film tour, as they see it as a fitting way to celebrate our “brother”- someone who feels like a member of the family, and to come together as a community and sing.
When asked what Weir’s legacy was, MOTM’s Director, @chrisbenchetler said, “Bob left a legacy of love and community. He's brought people together and kept them dancing for 60 years, and he's contributed to something that will last a lifetime.”
MWF has decided to remain focused on bringing the light, love and musical joy that Bobby and the @gratefuldead have brought to us, and so many others over the past 60 years. Fare thee well, Bobby Weir. R.I.P.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at TCA last night for a wonderful evening of film, conversation, and inspiration!
We loved sharing FITaos’ short film, Kids Need Nature, before the special screening of PRESERVED, followed by a thoughtful panel discussion.
A big thank you to PRESERVED director @bclarkmtn, @monkeywrenchfilms, @taoscenterforthearts, and all of our incredible panelists for making the evening possible!

The film you’ve been waiting for— Emmy-nominated @birthoftheendlesssummer is now screening everywhere (link in bio).
Such a cool story, it inspired @martinshapes , @tyler_warren and Mickey Munoz to shape a surfboard inspired by it.
In 1960, a chance meeting in South Africa between California’s Dick Metz and South Africa’s John Whitmore changed the course of surfing history—and inspired the most iconic surf and travel film of all time, The Endless Summer.
Birth of the Enldess Summer, the 6x award-winning, Emmy-nominated film, was directed by Richard Yelland (@curtisbirch). Yelland’s upcoming feature @mrspipeline is coming in late 2026.
Produced in association with @brucebrownfilms

Thanks @playlist.magazine for the feature. 💅
Love this hilarious clip you shared from the film of Dr. Shazia Sohrawardy talking about what it feels like to see shirtless white guys running with the “motivation of a 1000 suns”. Comedy saves lives, people. And physicians are funny as f*ck.
Link in stories. 👀

Exclusive! BBS FIRST @deadline / LINK IN BIO💜
This is so much more than a documentary. It’s my love letter to women of color. To daughters of immigrants. To myself.
Ok this is wild. Six years ago, my cousin Dr. @shivanimody, an ER physician in Brooklyn, called me panicking. her boss had told her to make a will. she asked: “if something happens to me and my husband, will you take care of my five-month-old?”
In that moment, I immediately understood that everything was going to change. I said yes and started recording. We got to capture so many intimate moments with each of the six women. What it was like during a global crisis to be a mom, to balance family and work, to all of a sudden be respected as a leader during an actual crisis. What started as a 2-min video and side project became my life’s calling, telling our stories. South Asian and Black women are gorgeous, imperfect, funny, and natural leaders. And I got to do something we never ever get to do. Show that on screen. Honestly.
Forever thankful to @spacestationnyc for coming on as executive producer, to @sharika.aj for editing this into a cinematic masterpiece, and to grammy-nominated musician @priyism for the stunning composition. To @monkeywrenchfilms for believing in our movie enough that you got us onto the big screen.
Thank you to Matt Carey (@kore2) for writing about us and to @suniils for helping us shape our story so beautifully.
“I’m Doing My Job” premieres October 12 across Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube Movies and Vimeo On Demand. We’ll be coming to Tubi and other streaming services later this fall!
Full story + trailer in bio. Please share widely. We love you.

Now screening everywhere @birthoftheendlesssummer (link in bio). It’s the train-jumping, steamship-hopping adventures of Dick Metz, which reveals the untold story behind one of the most watched and beloved documentaries of all time: @brucebrownfilms The Endless Summer.
Hailed by critics as “mandatory viewing” and a “beautiful film,” Birth of The Endless Summer follows Metz’s 1959-1961 vagabond travels as he retraces his original journey. His remarkable story and pivotal friendships with Bruce Brown & Hobie Alter not only inspired the greatest surf film ever made but also paved the way for modern surfing.
We’re stoked to announce the exclusive Session magazine online premiere this Friday! The 5X festival winner, LA Press Club’s Sports Film of the Year, and 2025 Emmy nominee explores the unlikely journey that compelled Bruce Brown to make his iconic 1964 film, turning the search for “the perfect wave” into a global obsession.
Carve out some time, settle in, and take a trip back to surfing’s beginnings: screening link in bio!

We’re stoked to announce the exclusive Session magazine online premiere of Birth of The Endless Summer. The 5x festival winner and 2025 Emmy Awards nominee follows the vagabond, around-the-world adventures of surf pioneer Dick Metz from 1958-1961.

What started as a couple of surfers chasing waves around the world became one of the most influential surf films ever made and helped turn the search for the perfect wave into a global obsession.
Before surf films became an endless stream of clips on your phone,The Endless Summer was the film that changed the way the world saw surfing, inspiring generations to chase waves far beyond their own backyard. We’re honored to bring this special piece of surf history in Birth of The Endless Summer to the Session audience with an exclusive online premiere, giving you a chance to experience the story behind the story.
