Kingdom Of The Evening

KINGDOM OF THE EVENING
Clint Davis | MA 2025 | 85 min | Original with English subtitles

In 2010, young adventurer Kepa Acero traveled alone to Western Africa in search of empty waves. In Morocco, he met a 15-year-old kid named Yassine. Though they barely spoke the same language, they shared waves, tajines, and an unspoken connection. Then, Kepa continued south, and they never saw each other again. Today, Yassine is known as Snoopy Style—a professional surf guide and local legend in Taghazout. Fifteen years later, Kepa and Snoopy will meet again for the first time. But life has changed—just like Morocco. The dusty fishing village has transformed: boutique hotels line the shore, and Anchor Point is packed with digital nomads chasing Wi-Fi and waves.

Together, with filmmaker Ayoub Abouizza, they embark on a journey to find what once was—empty line-ups, pure stoke, and that elusive feeling of freedom. But things don’t go as planned… The dream they’re chasing may not exist anymore… One thing will never change: hope. Even with all the changes, they still believe that somewhere belong this coast, there is a wave just waiting. Empty and perfect. Undiscovered. Or at least, that the story they keep telling themselves. Filmed and Directed by Clint Davis, KINGDOM OF THE EVENING (45min) is produced by OXBOW.
