You could say filmmaking was in Jack McCoys blood since birth. Born in Los Angeles, McCoy spent his early days in Hollywood as the son of a radio and TV show host. Before long, the family moved to Hawaii and Jack began surfing in 1954. And that was the perfect catalyst for Jack McCoy to become the sports premier cinematographer. Perhaps his defining moment came in 1990 when surfwear giant Billabong hired McCoy to produce a series of marketing videos -- Bunyip Dreaming (1990), The Green Iguana (1992) and The Sons of Fun (1993), among others. These surf films were a class above the celluloid-flooded market during that era. That success soon led McCoy to produce the biographical The Occumentary (1998), Sabotaj (1998) and Free as a Dog (2006).
McCoy relocated to Australia in 1970 and began taking still photographs, which regularly appeared in Tracks magazine. In 1975, he teamed up with Dick Hoole and some 16-millimeter film. Within a year their first surf movie Tubular Swells (1976) hit the big screen. And just like that McCoy realized his life-long career path.
Perhaps the pinnacle of his career came with the mainstream production
Blue Horizon (2004), which contrasted the competitive Andy Irons with the freesurfing Dave Rastovich and brought surf movies back to the big screen.
With no signs of slowing down, his latest release A Deeper Shade of Blue (2012) is currently on a worldwide premiere tour
proving at age 64, McCoy continues to captivate audiences around the globe. ACS Victoria and SAE is very pleased to bring you this event courtesy of ACS Member Peter Baker and SAE Melbourne in their lecture theatre in South Melbourne next door to Panavision.
