Five Summer Stories is a 1972 surf film by Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray of MacGillivray Freeman Films. The last film of the genre by the duo, it explores the joy of surfing amid the backdrop of 1970s political and environmental problems. Its stars include David Nuuhiwa, Eddie Aikau, Gerry Lopez, and Sam Hawk.
The film's backstory dates two years prior, when MacGillivray and Freeman decided they will end their surf filmmaking career, and conceived Five Summer Stories as their closure for the surfing community. The film was cinematographed by Bud Browne, with principal photography occurring for months in Hawaii. Editing included the creation of animation by John Lamb, who was among the first to animate surfing and skateboarding. The Beach Boys, an American rock band, offered their music into the film,[1] while Honk composed the score.[2] The poster used an original painting by Rick Griffin.[3]
