LOVE AND GUTS - VIDEO

June 30, 2010

Love & Guts began in 2005 as a skate influenced art show. Five years later, the traveling exhibition made its way to New York, at the Red Bull Space in Soho.

Amber and I were in New York to cover the exhibit, which featured skateboard icons Chad Muska, Don Pendleton, Lance Mountain, Pat Ngoho, Steve Caballero, Steve Olson, and a host of other creatives.

“Eyes Wide Open” was the theme of this show, which paid tribute to the unique characters within skateboarding, who sadly, are no longer with us.

Here’s the short film we created, documenting the installation and theme of the exhibition, and below that are links to the photo series by Amber.

2010 - “The Twenty Worst Songs of the Last Ten Years”

January 19, 2010

Pop-music has always been a defining characteristic of a decade, and the last ten years have been no exception. Each and every generation has had its embarrassing sounds stamped in time, but never before has such shitty music been so diverse, yet so profitable. So as 2010 rolls around, let’s look back and pay homage to our shameful past.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… “2010: The Twenty Worst Songs of the Last Ten Years”…

MAKE IT COUNT, CHAPTER 4 - “EARTH”

December 10, 2009

MAKE IT COUNT, CHAPTER 4 - “EARTH”


“EARTH” is the fourth chapter of MAKE IT COUNT. The conclusion focuses on Element’s continued growth, reach, success, and diversity and is told through the familiar faces of the first three chapters. More so, Lil’ Jon, Pharrell Williams, and a host of artists and musicians (including Mumble members Amber B, Jeremy Fish, and Todd Francis) chime in to further explain the common thread amongst creative individuals.

MAKE IT COUNT - CHAPTER 3 “FIRE”


In creating Chapter 3 of 4, “FIRE” I interviewed a myriad of Element riders and alumni, including Bam, Chad Muska, Chad Tim Tim, Darrell Stanton, Donny Barley, Mike V and more. Through their interviews, along with key industry insiders, Element’s defining moments of its early history is explored using historical footage and iconic imagery to tell the story.

MAKE IT COUNT COMMERCIAL - “BOARD”

October 8, 2009
MAKE IT COUNT COMMERCIAL - “BOARD”


This is an updated commercial from a (2007) commercial series for Element called “Start To Finish” which was directed by Craig Metzger and myself, shot by Josh Martelli, and all with the help of Professor Paul Schmitt. We shot a full day at PS Stix, and collected a huge amount of footage of a board being made. This obviously, is only a small sampling of what we shot. But nevertheless, it was a long day, but super fun and full of inspiration.

The original commercial series focused on the symbiotic relationship between a skateboard’s creation and the skater in his environment. We created 6 commercials, that were all similar, but each ended with a different skater and the board that was being created.

Recently, I unearthed the footage for MAKE IT COUNT, and put together a re-edited version to song by musical genius, Loren Humphrey, with inspiration taken from Phillip Glass.

MAKE IT COUNT - CHAPTER 2 “WATER”


In creating Chapter 2 of 4, “WATER” I, (Kirk Dianda) interviewed Johnny Schillereff (Element founder & president), Andy Howell (New Deal co-founder & Underworld founder), and a small cast of influential characters. Through their interviews, Underworld’s inception and demise is explained, along with a historical look into a unique era within skateboarding.

MAKE IT COUNT - CHAPTER 1 “WIND”

August 1, 2009

MAKE IT COUNT is a four-part documentary on Element, covering two decades of stories and imagery.

In creating Chapter 1 of 4, “WIND” I followed Johnny Schillereff (Element founder & president) and dug into his history, interviewing the very people that have shaped his life and the company.

The opening and closing sequences give you a small taste of the diverse community of people interviewed for the entire project, topics covered, and nostalgia that was un-earthed… The next 3 chapters will dive into all things Element, including the short-lived Underworld Element, the historical team and its ups and downs, and the friends and family that have defined Element throughout the years.

Each chapter of MAKE IT COUNT will be release on the 1st of each month:

WIND - August 1st, 2009

WATER - September 1st, 2009

FIRE - October 1st, 2009

EARTH - November 1st, 2009
