Director Layne Stratton Delivers a Tale of Grit and Redemption with "Billy"

Layne Stratton has been photographing and filming extreme sports athletes since he was in his teens…which really wasn't that long ago! Through a combination of talent and timing, he found himself in the position of producing a 6-part documentary series that premiered on Outside TV in February 2021. In the film, called "Billy," Layne follows Champion Big Wave Surfer, Billy Kemper, on his recovery from a life-threatening injury sustained on a surf trip in Morocco. The film features stunning cinematography and an intimate examination of the forces that shaped and continue to drive a world-class athlete when he's faced with the biggest challenge of his life. https://www.worldsurfleague.com/posts/462465/billy-kemper-series-big-wave-surf-injury-recovery https://vimeo.com/user3674184 Making Media Now is sponsored by FC, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.
