"Skateboard": Reminiscing with George Gage


Listen Later

In this exclusive interview, I talk to documentary filmmaker George Gage as he reminisces about his 1978 feature film "Skateboard". Gage is a great storyteller who talks about the concept of the film, working with the cast and crew, and we even delve into later skateboard flicks such as "Thrashin'", "Gleaming the Cube", and "Lords of Dogtown" to name some as well as talking about almost lost media unearthed for new generations.


"Skateboard" was recently remastered from a thought to be lost 35mm print thanks to lifelong fan Matt Grady of Factory 25. The film screened in New York and Los Angeles with two more set for November in Minneapolis and Dallas as the film celebrates its 45-year anniversary!


A Special Thanks goes out to Matt Grady of Factory 25 and George Gage for making this interview possible.
