Skateboarding and filmmaking have been longtime friends from Spike Jonze’s legendary ‘Video Days’ (1991) to his ultra polished ‘Pretty Sweet’ released in 2012, and many other classic skateboarding films. Despite the fact that skateboarding has something intrinsically cinematic about it, there’s often a lack of appreciation how much skill and talent there is behind the camera of skateboarding videos – outside the tightly guarded world of skateboarding. Skate filmmaker and photographer Kyle Camarillo has created this short vid to fill that void. In this piece we see Miles Silvas and Jack Curtin surfing the raw concrete of San Fran, elegantly bombing the hills in high definition.
