“Congratulations to our Screen Collective member, Jesca Maas, on the successful launch of the first-ever Noosa International Surfilm Festival! It was inspiring to see Jesca’s vision come to life this past weekend. The festival brought together:
• Captivating surf films from around the world
• Talented filmmakers sharing their stories
• Local and Australian surf legends Engaging Q&A sessions and discussions.
Thank you to everyone who supported this fantastic celebration of surf culture and cinema. We’re excited to see how this festival grows in the coming years.”
Sunshine Coast Screen Collective.
“Last year I said this, and I’m stoked to say that she’s done it again!: ‘Jesca Maas gets things done. She did an amazing job running the Yallingup Surf Film Festival, rallying local businesses and community, engaging with film makers and prominent surfing figures and managing a dizzying array of logistics with good humour, style and meticulous efficiency. I’ve no doubt Jesca will bring this same energy and enthusiasm to the Noosa International Surf Film Festival, ensuring it becomes an essential surf culture event. Jesca’s a class act.’ The inaugural festival
(NOOSAISFF2024) was a great success, a class act indeed! Congrats!”
