Make something that aligns with the brand and tells their story. A lot of brands choose to focus on selling the product(which isn't a bad thing), but the goal of this was to sell you on the brand, and connect you with it's humble beginnings.

We wanted to make something that was a mix between Iron Man(2008) and Sticks short films while capturing what it feels like to ride an electric longboard. Those films have always motivated me to create something that inspires people, and I wanted to get that same emotion out of this project

In a way, I wanted this film to feel like it came from the 90s because that was when the rise of skateboards came about and it only felt right to honor that segment in history.

The editing turned out to flow really smoothly on this production, as we planned all of our shots and essentially put the rough draft together before filming with the actual talent. We used a mix of flashes, bassy sound design, and film overlay to truly make it feel like it was a production meant to view in theaters.
