Here’s one that slipped under our (and IMDB’s) radar. Morgan Spurlock has produced the documentary “Floating: the Nathan Gocke Story,” and as it gears up for its debut on cable next week, details have emerged on the pretty solid list of artists who have lent their tunes to the soundtrack.
Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, Damien Jurado, Animal Collective, Fanfarlo and Moonlight Sailor all feature in the film. Directed by Richard Yelland, the film follows a surfer who suffers a spinal cord injury that causes him to lose feeling in his arms and legs, and his journey to recovery and his dream of surfing again. No word if the film will spawn a soundtrack (we doubt it) but it should be a nice addition to what looks like an interesting story.
“Floating: the Nathan Gocke Story” will debut on Fuel TV on June 23rd. You can watch the trailer below:
Just saw it on FUEL TV – nicely done. Kudos to Morgan Spurlock and the crew. You're inspiring Nathan – right on for you! I used to work with Nathan at Fox – always had a surfboard in his truck (smile)! A good cat!
