Bella Vita

Jason Baffa has just taken his elite level of film making to another level with Bella Vita.  The ASV staff highly recommend you buy now on this one, it is just amazing and beautiful! Jason Baffa chronicles Del Moro on a pilgrimage back to his ancestral homeland with elite standout professional surfers Dave Rastovich, Lauren Lyndsey Hill, Conner & Parker Coffin and Italy's top surfers Alessandro Ponzanelli and Leonardo Fioravanti as they explore the burgeoning surf culture blossoming amongst the Mediterranean’s oldest and cherished traditions.

A visual epic captured in 35mm, Bella Vita presents an intimate, powerful journey of self-discovery where the unique powers of family tradition intersect with the enlightenment of re-discovery in a forgotten natural resource. If you’ve seen One California Day, you know that Baffa has a cinematographer’s eye, and a talent for cruisy, contemplative rhythm and that’s mostly the feel of Bella Vita as well. "Internationally acclaimed surf-filmmaker - Jason Baffa (single fin: yellow, one California day, one beach) documents surfer, artist and environmentalist, Chris Del Moro on a pilgrimage back to his Italian homeland on what most perceive as a 'Don Quixotian' quest but transforms into a modern discovery seeped in culture, tradition and passion. Moreover, it is what Chris finds in the beauty of Italy and the distinctly passionate connection the Italian people have with family and tradition that reveals a greater truth." - Surfer Magazine
