Who we are.

Time Well Spent was created by James Fazio, a surfer, filmmaker who wanted to give a life changing trip to four young men from different walks of life around the world. Time Well Spent is about four young men from different challenging background of pain and hardships that have found refuge in the ocean. We will lead you to each boys front doorsteps in Indonesia, Hawaii, Peru and Australia to hear their stories and learn where they come from. Finally, we will bring all four boys together in Bocas Del Toro, Panamá. As the boys surf perfect waves and get the journey of a lifetime, they will also be learning what it means to give back to people even less fortunate then themselves. We will be building a house for a family in need in Panama with Homes of Hope and providing water filters to those who do not have access to clean water. We want to show the four boys that they have much more Worth then they can imagine and that they can make an impact on this world.

The message we want to give is this: It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you have worth and can give hope to others. This has changed our crew’s outlook on life, it will change these young men’s lives and hopefully yours as well. These four groms are amazing young men with amazing stories. This documentary will share their stories to the world and will inspire and give hope to others who can relate to the trials these four have faced. Join us in this adventure, Help us to make this dream come true for these for young men and help us to make a difference for families in need in Panamá.

The Boys.
