Cape Town surfer and model Roxy Louw will be the local face of this summer’s musical television film phenomenon, ‘Teen Beach Movie’.
Following in the footsteps of the worldwide ‘High School Musical’ craze, the American ‘Teen Beach Movie’ stars Maia Mitchell and Ross Lynch in the lead roles of surfers McKenzie and her boyfriend Brady.
In the film, Brady and McKenzie take the last wave of summer, which mysteriously takes them into a classic beach party movie called ‘Wet Side Story’. There, it’s surfers versus bikers for control of the beach hangout, with everyone spontaneously breaking into song and dance. Brady and McKenzie must try to return to present day, but their lives may be affected forever when they inadvertently change the romantic storyline and the movie’s handsome surf guy, Tanner, starts falling for McKenzie, while biker girl Lela starts swooning for Brady.
Being a successful and determined surfer, Roxy was selected to play the McKenzie-part in the local production of this film.
Says Louw: “When I was approached to be the local McKenzie I was very excited. We are very similar. Just like her I am at my happiest when I am surfing. Also, just like her, I am very goal-driven and dedicated.”
