Los Angeles, CA – September 3, 2010 – After two days of screenings and panel discussions, the 1st Annual LA Skate Film Festival ended last night in Hollywood with the much anticipated awards ceremony honoring skate filmmakers’ work from all around the world.
The first two days of the festival showcased a diverse selection of the top 3 best films submitted in each one of the award categories, from emerging films to documentaries; skate shop videos and US films. Some of the films really stood out whether by their creativity, their humor or even sensibility, and they deserve a mention: Plank, 10,000 Kilometers, Machotaildrop and everybody’s favorite, Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul.
A couple panel discussions were held to educate the attending filmmakers on 3D and visual effects integration in skateboard filmmaking. The festival gathered experts in the field such as Windowseat pictures, Century 21 3D, Rabbit and Ring of Fire to bring the best knowledge possible to the filmmakers.
The last day of the festival was much anticipated by everybody, especially the nominated filmmakers who flew all the way from Vancouver, Philadelphia, or Austin with the hopes of winning, in their respective categories, the 1st ever LA Skate Film Festival trophy designed by RVCA’s artist, Kevin Ancell.
Members of the Academy of Skateboard Filmmakers, who nominated the films, were present to announce the winning filmmakers and speak about the importance of the festival for the industry. Jim Thiebaud, Geoff Rowley, Grant Brittain, Bryce Kanights, Jamie Thomas, Ricki Bedenbaugh, and Greg Hunt were on hand to show once more, their support of the festival.
What nobody expected was the “Tribute to Craig Stecyk”, which was presented by Steve Olson. As an inspiration to many filmmakers and skateboarders of today, Craig Stecyk very much so deserved this Tribute and was there to accept it.
