Shaping the Future a film by Richard Helphand
Shaping the Future chronicles the life of Lance Collins who pulled himself from adversity to achieve the American dream. It documents the effect he and his innovative surfboard designs had on a hotbed of Newport Beach surfers in the 1980s. But more importantly, it details how he was able to achieve the most important thing in life – peace and joy.
