OMBAK BALI FILM FESTIVAL

In August 2009, The Drifter had its World Premiere in Bali, Indonesia, at the Ombak Bali International Surf Film Festival, where it was chosen Best Film. The festival's program director Jolinde den Hass had this to say: "There has never been a more beautiful portrait of the diversity of the people, the surf and the islands of Indonesia. It's a very genuine road movie that shows a personal side of Rob Machado and the warmth and sincerity of the Indonesian people." The Jakarta Post remarked: "Capturing the journey of the surfer through a different land, culture and waves, The Drifter is a visual metaphor for a free spirit's conscious abandonment of the worldly traps of modern life as he searches for the inner freedom and spiritual joy offered by a life of renunciation."
