“Squambladesh”
Wednesday, April 20th, 2011Earlier this week, Concrete video reviewer Ben Stoddard sent over a private link to Don’t Sleep Productions’ latest video. Shot in Squamish, BC, this project was a solid last-minute submission to the Whistler Telus Ski & Snowboard Festival’s “72hr. Filmmaker Showdown”.
“We went up to the director’s meeting with no script or plan hoping we would come up with something magically,” Benny explains. “On the drive it was blue bird and we decided to stick to what we know best and shoot a skate montage. After a few phone calls we gathered the troops and had an epic 2 day journey into Squambladesh.”
Now that it’s been given the green light to post, you can watch AJ McCallister, Corey Klim, Cory Wilson, Nick Moore, Nate Lacoste and company take care of business:
