There are moments in one’s life that will either make or break you.  Fe De Agua is a short film about one such moment, when a boy from Guanacaste comes face to face with his destiny.  It’s a story about love, life, family, faith, and learning to stand on water.

Film-making company Guana Productions is presently working on “Fe De Agua”, a short film project. Fe De Agua is being filmed and produced in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and the surrounding areas.

Once finished, the film will be premiered in Tamarindo, after which it will be entered into a number of film festivals both domestic and international.

The film will tell the story of a young Guanacasteca who finds himself at his first world surfing Championships, arriving there from improbable and humble beginnings. Most of the lead positions both in front and behind the camera will be Costa Rican nationals with the support of the multi-cultural communities of the region.

The film will be drawing from the surfing lifestyle and the culture of Guanacaste.

Guana Productions will be incorporating community resources, as well as linking the project to an educational program.

Although all the cast and crew are volunteering for this project, Guana Productions is currently seeking additional funds and services from sponsors and donors.

A fundraising event that sounds like a lot of fun is scheduled for tomorrow, March 4, 2009, at Cala Luna in Playa Langosta.

Guana Productions will also be initiating the Fe De Agua Surf Scholarship by donating 20 percent of all funds raised for the movie to the Scholarship.  The fund will be made available to applicants who are native of and resident within Guanacaste.  Male and female applicants will show promise in surfing and will be active in full time education.  Applicants will be under the age of 16.
