The film profiles Christophe by showing the convergence of him living life with a rare form of dwarfism and his love for surfing. Christophe shares how his height, 4’4”, and his many operations have affected his life and how surfing has become a major source of confidence.

Shot on a stunning California backdrop, ‘Standing On Water’ features locations from Ventura to Humboldt and many other beautiful stops in between. Tommy Corey directed, edited, shot, and finished the piece.

The main takeaway from this film is that we are all just people seeking acceptance and our place in this world. By highlighting such an unlikely yet passionate surfer, the film has the power to inspire people to look at differences through a new lens. Doing what you love shouldn’t be judged because of what you look like.
