Facing Monsters: A Major Win for Veerhuis Pictures

The launch of the feature-length documentary “Facing Monsters” has been a major success for Western Australian production company Veerhuis Pictures, cementing its place as a creator of powerful and captivating stories.

The film follows the life of “slab wave” surfer Kerby Brown, but it’s more than a surf movie. Directed by Bentley Dean and produced by Veerhuis’s Chris Veerhuis, the documentary is a raw, emotional look at a man confronting his fears, his demons, and his family bonds.

With its breathtaking cinematography and unflinching narrative, Facing Monsters became a critical and awards-season darling. After a strong showing at film festivals, it earned nominations at the prestigious AACTA Awards and multiple festival wins, affirming its status as a must-see.

By championing a deeply human story from their own backyard and bringing it to a global stage, Veerhuis Pictures has demonstrated its commitment to high-quality, authentic filmmaking. The triumphant launch of Facing Monsters proves that a powerful local story can resonate with audiences around the world.
