Overview

A super-model begins to question her glitzy, frenetic lifestyle when she awakes after a all night party to find a strange man in her bed. She sees a surfer riding the waves below, follows him to his tented camp on the banks of a river. 'Leatherlip' earns a living making leather goods and roaming around on an extraordinary 'trike' with his worldly goods and surfboard strapped on an overhead rack. They fall in love and she abandons her previous life. Then inexplicably she disappears. Leatherlip sets off on a cross-country odyssey to find her, knowing only that her father lives on a boat on the West Coast...

    As far as I know, this is a lost film. If anyone knows of an existing copy, please contact me. My thanks to 2nd Unit director **Josh Spencer** for supplying the info on this film. (Most of it from memory!). For those who are interested, I have posted Josh’s comments and a full film synopsis below. **2nd Unit Director's Comments** > This film is exploitative in the most literal sense in that Director Stuart Pringle had no clear idea of what the film would be.
