About this project

3 Killas y Un Kiwi is the first video of its kind, an introduction of Latin American female surfing to the world. Surfing world champion Sofia Mulanovich from Peru, Simone Zea from Venezuela, and Ornella Pellizzari from Argentina lead an army of shredders that carve their way through waves and life. Even though Sofia Mulanovich paved the way for Latin American girls, it is still a tough road to follow. Since most of the talent goes unnoticed we decided it was time to share their skills with the rest of the world. Latin America is not the only place were female surfing has not received the international recognition it deserves. Paige Hareb from New Zealand is one of the few women who surfs in her country, therefore we decided to add a little sweet and tasty flavor to our mix and invite a Kiwi to participate in this adventure. With their strength, talent and beauty these women will be a great inspiration to any young girl watching. Shot on great locations such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, Puerto Rico, California and Hawaii the diversity of images is a gift to the eye. 

Even though we have shot a great amount of waves we are still in need of the closing segment for which we need to plan one last trip. We are also hoping to gather the means to work on the post production and distribution of the film.

Again we thank you so much for your pledge.

3 Killas y Un Kiwi es un video único, una introducción del surf femenino latinoamericano al mundo.
Campeona mundial Sofia Mulanovich de Perú, Simone Zea de Venezuela y Ornella Pellizzari de Argentina guían a un ejercito de mujeres que dibujan sus vidas sobre miles de olas al rededor del planeta.
Aún cuando Sofia abrió una buena vía para el resto de las latinas el camino a seguir no es nada fácil. Como la mayoría del talento en nuestros países pasa por desapercibido, nosotras decidimos que ya era el momento de compartir las habilidades de estas chicas con el resto del mundo. America Latina no es el único lugar que no recibe el reconocimiento internacional que se merece. Paige Hareb de Nueva Zelanda es una de las pocas mujeres que surfea en su país, por esta razón decidimos agregar un poquito de sabor extranjero a nuestro menjurje e invitamos a este kiwi a participar en nuestra aventura. Con su fuerza, talento y belleza estas mujeres se convierten en una inspiración para cualquier chica que las vea. Filmado en locaciones fantásticas como Mexico, Costa Rica, Perú, Panamá, Puerto Rico, California y Hawaii la diversidad de imágenes es un regalo para nuestros ojos. 

Aun cuando ya hemos filmado gran parte del proyecto, necesitamos hacer un último viaje con todas las chicas. También esperamos recaudar los fondos necesarios para realizar la post producción y distribución del documental.

De nuevo les agradecemos enormemente su colaboración.
