Lords of Dogtown 2005, Director Catherine Hardwicke
I have chosen Lords of Dogtown as my focus film for several reasons. The film is biographical following the rise of the legendary 'Z Boys', and the skate culture that they practically invented in Venice, California. Although a fictionalized take on the group of young skateboarders, none of the skating is glossy or over produced, simply raw. This was important to me as i wanted a focus film that truly represents real street skating. Also, as the film shows skateboarding from spark to flame, we as the audience are perfectly poised to follow the rise of skate culture from empty pools to over night sensation.
