Jamie O’Brien’s Filmer Had His Head Sliced Open Like Butter While Getting the Shot

Tomo, Jamie O’Brien’s filmer, puts himself in harm’s way to get the shot. Sometimes, he can’t get out of the way fast enough.

Being Jamie O’Brien’s filmer is not a job for someone who would prefer to stay out of harm’s way. Inherent in the job is getting as close as possible to people flailing their way down/off of steep/tall things, be they waves, drains, or stairs. Such is life for Tomo, though, who took a fin to the head at Sandy Beach while getting the shot and ended up in the hospital. When he left, he did so with a bunch of extra thread in his face that wasn’t there before.
