Attention All Filmers!, YOUR footage contributions are needed! Options

[Mike Svenson]

As some of you may know, I quit working for Streetcorner (City) shortly after the release of their latest video, "WHAT THE F*CK IS A BACHINSKY" (of which I filmed only a small fraction).

The reason for my decision to quit does not stem from a conflict of any kind, and their is continued mutual respect, understanding, and friendship between myself and everyone at Streetcorner.

I have simply chosen to walk a more independent route, to work for myself, and produce my own videos again like back in the good ol' days., and from now on if there is going to be a company involved, I will be working WITH the company rather the FOR the company.

The first of my projects will be an underground video I will produce and edit and partially film, but this video will be MOSTLY filmed by YOU!

All footage sent and used will be compensated for.

The video will be distributed world wide and is currently unnamed.

The "Mission" behind this video is to give back the same kind of help I've received that has led me to this point thus far.
Therefore there will be some minor guidelines for you all to consider.

What I'm mostly interested in is footage filmed by you deserving individuals of skaters presently unknown, but good enough as a skater and a person to be given an international spotlight in a professional video.

Other than that, the criteria is completely open and I am also open to any ideas and suggestions in regards to the video in any way, INCLUDING the editing and organizational concepts for the parts and montages.

I'm not looking for a particular style or look. Nor am I concerned about utter perfection, but creativity is a huge plus!


This video will represent what skateboarding really is underneath the surface of an overly competitive industry. The ART of skateboarding is what this is about, along with the people and situations involved behind the scenes.

Again, the goal of the video is to help all of those skaters/filmers that deserve it the most, and even almost.
This is a "homie" video for all of us to partake in. When it really comes down to it, this is EVERYONES' project.


I look forward to support and ideas from anyone interested. Again, footage used WILL be compensated for.
The due date for the video will ultimately come down to the amount of support it gets from you all, but is ideally one year from now or less. This should give anyone interested in a full part enough chance to make it happen!
