Ye Olde Destruction at HOV

Come join us on Thursday November 7th as Um Yeah Arts,  Land and Sea Dept., and House of Vans present "Ye Olde Destruction" a film by Thomas Campbell, as well as a live score by Dan Bitney & Theo Katsaounis.

For the last 7 years Artist - Film maker Thomas Campbell has been making a self funded skateboarding movie, mainly shot on a 16mm film -- called - Ye Olde Destruction .... with a solid grip of shredders building and skating DIY spots, some street action, pools, and other stuff. The movie is really about capturing sessions and the movement of the life and happenings in these situations. Part of the theme and vehicle that propels the film is the driving of two old cars ( one 70's Cadillac and one black Ford Station wagon) two squads travel around in these cars skating, building spots, creating different skating scenarios, sometimes skating the cars and basically wilding out in said vehicles. In some ways the movie falls into the classic genera of the car movies movie motif ( Bullitt , Mad Maxx or Brown Bunny). The Film is presented in brutal but some how dream scape - ish editing style, with the jacked frenetic scribblings of world renowned Berlin based artist - zine maker Sergej Vutuc adding his iconic script to the mix. Campbell has enlisted an A list team of lensmen to help him capture the motion picture scenarios and shreddings - French Fred, Jon Miner, Mike Manzoori and Connor Wyse among others. The film also embodies and unveils the inter web of a community, a community of out laws non the less. but a community.
