Made in Venice (2016)

Made in Venice: Directed by Jonathan Penson. With Jay Adams, Susanne Melanie Berry, Dave Duncan, Ray Flores. MADE IN VENICE takes you on a rippin’ ride with the skateboarders of Venice, from “raising hell” on the beach in their teens to turning pro in the 80’s and putting “street skating” on the global map. But their biggest challenge of all wasn’t becoming skateboarding legends, it was about getting what they dreamed of, and really wanted… a skatepark on Venice Beach for the community and the pro skates of tomorrow.

“Not only is Made In Venice a cult classic in the formation, it is essential viewing for all skateboarders and skate park activists. Made In Venice is an inspirational no-holds-barred look into what a community of can accomplish when they let nothing or no one stand in their way. The documentary features never before seen clips and photos that will inspire kids pursuing the goal of having a skate park in their town. Bursting with skate history, struggle and victory, Made In Venice traces the pioneering days of skateboarding in L.A. to the birth of modern day street skating with highlights from the now destroyed Venice Pavilion and brings you to current day where you will find skateboarding legend, Jesse Martinez, acting as a voluntary caretaker of one of the most ridden and documented skate parks in the world. –  Juice Magazine”
