The film’s director, Bing Liu, discusses anxiety in skate culture and breaking through the stigma and silence
Rotten Tomatoes“It felt weird,” Bing tells me, referring to the Oscars night. “But the Obama thing was more unexpected. I didn’t even know he had a list!”
Bing -- who also features in the film, sharing his own story of abuse at the hands of his stepdad -- didn’t know anything about Zack and Keire before shooting. They weren’t that close, he says, just skate homies. “I discovered everything about their families and their inner lives and their pasts through making the film,” he tells me. “I only knew that Zack was a good skateboarder and Keire was very charismatic, talented and open.
"Though the issue of bottling up anxiety, even trauma, isn’t confined to skate culture, there are a lot of people within that community dealing with those things, yet few talk about it and share it, says Bing." Though the issue of bottling up anxiety, even trauma, isn’t confined to skate culture, there are a lot of people within that community dealing with those things, yet few talk about it and share it, says Bing. “People can go a lifetime without really truly talking about it, not just with each other but with themselves, having a self-dialogue about it.” In the film, Bing opens up to Keire, telling him how his stepdad had beaten him. In all the times they’d skated together, he’d never mentioned it.
