Cinematographer Aaron Lieber Talks About the State of Surf Filmmaking

Aaron Lieber is one of the most prolific young filmmakers in the surf industry. Actually, he’s evolved well beyond the surf industry, recently working on more mainstream projects with iconic athletes like the Los Angeles Rams’ Aaron Donald. But Aaron Liber started in surf, where he released his first film The Pursuit, in 2008. He then worked with Lakey Peterson on Zero to 100. Last year, he released the preeminent Bethany Hamilton documentary Unstoppable. We talked with Aaron about that progression as well as the state of surf filmmaking. And he had a lot to say about where we were, and where we’re going.
