Surfing Monkey is currently in production on a documentary about the U.S. National Australian Rules Football team, the American Revolution.

In August of 2008, 30+ men from all over America will leave their families, their jobs and their country to live out a dream in Melbourne, Australia. These 30+ individuals will join together to form the United States National Australian Football team — the American Revolution. No lucrative contracts, no endorsement deals, no fame, not even funding for the trip to Australia. They will each pay their own way to play one of the most physically taxing games in the world purely for a love of competition, a love of the game and for the opportunity to represent their country.

For some the journey began months, even years ago. Each player is currently saving money, playing with his home team and training to get in to the best shape of his life with the hopes of being selected to make the trip to Melbourne. As many as 80 players have a chance to make the team. Only 30 will make it. Years of hard work, dogged determination, preparation and anticipation will culminate in the International Cup in Melbourne – for the lucky ones that make the cut.

The documentary will follow the ups and downs of the Revolution season. The story begins with tryouts in Los Angeles and Atlanta and ends with the team’s end-of-trip celebration after playing five matches over 10 days in Melbourne and country Victoria.
