this looks sick man, can't believe it was rejected from SXSW and sundance last year ;/. also has had a tough time with distribution. i've loved all of mikey's shorts and the IC videos, really excited for this
In
So they took some the cast from mid90s and put them in another skateboarding movie
Looks coo tho...wonder why it got rejected
mikey talked abt it in his complex interview:
"Now, I don't want to say we got past the great part, because there's great days ahead. But you mentioned that you submitted the film to Sundance and it got rejected. North Hollywood notoriously, infamously, is not getting picked up by anybody. What are the reasons why? What exactly do you think is the disconnect?"
"There's a lot of psychological things we could say. Like the Native Son complex, where you see a Black filmmaker operating out of the social norms, making something that doesn't operate in that Native Son complex and you're going to get some pushback. Right? But here's the real, 100 percent issue is that, on Mid90s, they overspent on marketing and just on how they did it. So for skating, that was such a big win, that movie, because it was a good movie and it came out all around the world and people really loved it and it showed skating in a great light. But to Hollywood people, it was viewed as a loss. So, that's really the real reason because it's, at the end of the day, all about money."

Iun even get what point he’s tryna make....Mid90s was great for skaters but a loss for Hollywood? So now Hollywood hates skating movies?
Idk bruh took the Mid90s actors and put them in another skating movie....what you expect
So they took some the cast from mid90s and put them in another skateboarding movie
backwards lol. the director is part of the crew and been working on this before Mid90s came out

f***ing wack. I personally feel like they didnt do enough marketing for Mid90s
backwards lol. the director is part of the crew and been working on this before Mid90s came out
Working meaning he shot this before Mid90s?
Iun even get what point he’s tryna make....Mid90s was great for skaters but a loss for Hollywood? So now Hollywood hates skating movies?

Loss for Hollywood as in loss of money. A win for the Culture but ultimately, a lost financially making this film seem not worth the same time and investment

He’s saying it was a great film that made skating look good for the people that watched it so it should’ve been considered a dub especially cause most of the people who wanted to see a skating film would want to see mid 90s, but overall it didn’t make enough money to recoup advertising so it’s a loss for the investors. And his point is that now because of that nobody wants to invest in a skating movie
So in
So they took some the cast from mid90s and put them in another skateboarding movie
the reason mid90s has that cast was because of Mikey/illegal civ. Those are mikeys irl homies and he’s the one who put Jonah on to them for mid90s
At least op spelled Pharrell name correctly.. cause the trailer def did not
