Adrift VFX Breakdown
Adrift is a 2018 American romantic drama film produced and directed by Baltasar Kormákur, and written by David Branson Smith, Aaron Kandell and Jordan Kandell. Based on a true story and set in 1983, the film stars Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin as a couple who are stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after a hurricane, and must find their way to Hawaii with a damaged ship and no radio.
Adrift was released in the United States on June 1, 2018 by STXfilms and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Woodley's performance and the cinematography but criticized the familiar narrative.
Adrift is loosely based on the true story of two experienced sailors, Tami Oldham Ashcraft and Richard Sharp, who embarked on a 6,500 km (3,500 nmi) delivery passage of 44 ft (13 m) yacht Hazana from Tahiti to San Diego in 1983. They sailed directly into Hurricane Raymond. In the aftermath of the storm, Ashcraft awakens after twenty-seven hours to find Sharp gone and their boat in ruins. With no hope for rescue, Ashcraft jerry-rigged a makeshift sail, survived on canned goods and navigated using a sextant for 41 days to reach Hilo, Hawaii.
Adrift directed by Baltasar Kormákur from a screenplay by Aaron Kandell, Jordan Kandell, and David Branson Smith, based on the book “Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea” by Ashcraft with Susea McGearhart.
