Ladka Kurzrock , Leap (DOCUMENTARY & STREET 2026)

Two boys launch off the edge of a rock pool into the open ocean, arms flung skyward, the surf roaring behind them. It’s a split-second of pure, reckless joy — sun, salt, and summer distilled into one airborne moment. Below, an older swimmer floats unbothered, a still counterpoint to their exuberance. Shot in black and white, it captures the simple thrill of jumping into the sea on an Australian summer’s day.
