Skateboard Film “We Are Blood” Set To Redefine Sport
Pro skateboarder Paul Rodriguez teamed up with filmmaker Ty Evans to create the most anticipated skateboard film in years in conjunction with Mountain Dew’s Green Label Films and Brain Farm, producer of Travis Rice’s epic films, That’s It, That’s All and Art of Flight.
We Are Blood follows Rodriguez and many of his peers as they travel the world to locales such as Spain, Brazil, China and Dubai to progress the sport of skateboarding and advance their own sense of accomplishment.
Evans told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve been skateboarding since the mid-’80s and it’s always been this small niche sport that we all hold close to our heart,” says Evans, who has been making skateboarding films for the past 20 years. “But skateboarding has evolved over the years and it’s gotten so big now that the world is starting to take notice. To make a film and share it with the world on this tour is something really special.”
Evans went on to say, “I think the film is going to help grow skateboarding as a whole and get more kids interested in skateboarding. And people who don’t skateboard may get a better grasp of what skateboarding really is.”
