This feature-length documentary provides some big-ass wave riding courtesy of Mark Mathews and some big-ass knock outs from Richie ‘Vas’ Vaculik. Fighting Fear was filmed over three years and provides an honest insight into the passionate lives of two best mates. It tells the story of these world-class athletes facing up against-all-odds and rising over controversy, life is about second chances.

This is the second feature film by exciting new Australian talent, Macario De Souza, co-director of BRA BOYS. Aged just 28, Macario not only wrote, directed, edited, shot and produced Fighting Fear but wrote and performed 5 songs on the soundtrack as Kid Mac as well.

“Bra bromance shines through … There’s warmth and humour among the hardship… a compelling story of contemporary Sydney culture”
