Help save SKATEBOARD: THE MOVIE

This 1978 skateboarding cult classic is in danger of disappearing forever.

Hi there – I'm Matt Grady from Factory 25, and I'm here to ask you to get on board and help us create a new archival print of the cult classic indie feature film Skateboard: The Movie. Together, we can rescue this piece of moviemaking and skateboarding history from the destructive forces of time, and help it reach a wider audience than it's ever had the chance to before.

The only known existing print — until we found this one — was a beat up 16mm print that played BAM Cinematek in Brooklyn in 2012. I was in the crowd and realized how much I still loved the film that I’d seen as a kid. Then in 2022, mid-pandemic, I became obsessed with finding a better print. It took close to a year of searching and inquiring with film print collectors around the world before finding a usable 35mm print. And now — with your help — we have the opportunity to show everyone the film in its original glory and preserve this bit of history for future generations.

First, we can create a new print of the film from which copies can be made. This means the film will be available to replicate and screen for future generations.

With your help, I want to release it digitally and on Blu-Ray, and put it in at least a few theaters in all its glory, so new, broader audiences will be able to watch it easily.
