Northwest.
This is the new film by Rick Charnoski and Coan Nichols, creators
of the renowned pool-skating documentary, Fruit of the Vine.
In their latest real-life road movie, Nichols and Charnoski
focus their super-8mm lenses on hand-sculpted concrete skate
parks and the skaters who build and ride them, while making
friends, visiting old ones, and wreaking havoc across the Pacific
Northwest. Skateparks to drain pipes, transition is key: camp
out, wake up, skate. Capturing the lifestyle of DIY skateboarders
who "create their own reality", the characters write
their own visual short stories of what it means to live the
life of a full-hearted skateboarder. The pace and understated
aesthetic of the cinematography help the audience begin translating
the terrain on their own. With Jeffrey Patrick Dean, Tim Glenn,
Suzanne Voss, Maura M. Knowles. |
