After two days of screenings and panel discussions, the 1st Annual LA Skate Film Festival commenced last night in Hollywood with the much anticipated awards ceremony honoring the creative work of skate filmmakers from all around the world. The first two days of the festival showcased screenings from a diverse selection of the top 3 best films submitted in each one of the award categories, from emerging films to documentaries; to skate shop videos and US films. Some of the films that really stood out which deserve a mention and plenty of attention are: Plank, 10,000 Kilometers, Machotaildrop and everybody’s favorite, Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul.

A couple panel discussions were held to educate the attending filmmakers on 3D and visual effects integration in skateboard filmmaking. The festival gathered experts in the field such as Windowseat pictures, Century 21 3D, Rabbit and Ring of Fire to bring the best knowledge possible to the filmmakers.

The evening of awards for the Festival was much anticipated by everybody, especially the nominated filmmakers who flew all the way from Vancouver, Philadelphia, or Austin with the hopes of winning, in their respective category and the first-ever LA Skate Film Festival trophy designed by RVCA’s artist, Kevin Ancell. Members of the Academy of Skateboard Filmmakers, who nominated the films were present to announce the winning filmmakers and speak about the importance of the festival for the industry. Jim Thiebaud, Geoff Rowley, Grant Brittain, Bryce Kanights, Jamie Thomas, Ricki Bedenbaugh, and Greg Hunt.

To begin the evening with proper acknowledgment, a special “Tribute to Craig Stecyk” award was presented by Steve Olson. As a counterculture revolutionary and visual artist, and a huge inspiration to many filmmakers, photographers and skateboarders of today, Craig Stecyk III completely deserved this tribute and was there to accept it.
