Press

  • "Elevating every frame is Niclas Reed Middleton’s radiant widescreen cinematography, which vividly conveys the fleeting sense of freedom felt by surfers before they are forced to return to shore. No wonder why they can’t wait to catch the next wave."                                                                                                                                                                                                      (http://www.rogerebert.com/festivals-and-awards/tiff-2016-gaza-surf-club-mali-blues-the-stairs)
