This one’s been in the works for a couple years now, we’ve even helped with a few assets and interviews, and from the small snippets we’ve been fortunate to see, this documentary on New York City skateboarding and its influence on the world will be great. Get to NYC in June for its big premiere at the world renown Tribeca Film Festival. Tell ’em TransWorld sent ya! Big shout out to Alex Corporan for keeping us in the loop as this one has been building momentum.
“Empire Skate chronicles the colorful rise and enduring influence of New York skateboarding culture in the 1990s, through the global phenomenon of Supreme and intimate portraits of the skaters who breathed life into that world.”
