the surfers often experience freezing conditions including during a snow bound Great Lakes Eastern Surfing Association competition featured in the film.

Production



Production for the film began in the fall of 2001 and wrapped in the summer of 2009. The project began as an idea Scott Ditzenberger had to film his friends surfing in Lake Erie. It wasn't until he discussed the subject with Darrin McDonald, a PBS producer, and Tom Heinrich that Out Of Place became a serious film project. In 2007, Kurt Vincent began editing the film. Vincent happened to be sharing a house with Robby Staebler of The Barn Owls, leading to The Barn Owls involvement in the film's soundtrack.

Unlike many surf genre films Out Of Place was entirely independently financed and produced.
