Deathbowl to Downtown | History of Skateboarding in NYC
Coan Nichols and Rick Charnoski have been amassing some serious footage and pictures for the past three years and are ready to release the highly anticipated film, Deathbowl to Downtown a history of skateboarding in NYC. Their nostalgic style has produced two of my all-time favorite skate documentaries, Fruit of the Vine and Northwest. Known for their incisive and artful exploration of skateboarding and its culture, this looks to be an epic film that is long overdue. NYC is arguably one of the biggest and most diverse street skate cities in the world. Having been immersed in the skate culture since the 90s, local star Chloë Sevigny narrates.
I missed the premiere last night (saw the amazing Lykke Li at Bowery), but there will be another reception at Etnies Showroom in SoHo tonight. The Moving Image, “A photographic history of skateboarding in NYC” will have its opening party in celebration with the film from 7-midnight. I expect a fun party with free drinks and good music.
