Through My Board

Growing up in the underbelly of Burnside Skatepark, Paul Johnson is a product of his environment. As a deaf skater, he's learned to navigate the challenges that come with communicating amongst mostly hearing friends. With a new generation of skaters in need of role models, the default culture that once enabled the vices of Burnside's skate community is now in transition. Through My Board tells the story of Paul and the park's OGs as they reckon with aging, addiction, and the often-uncomfortable process of personal evolution.

High Touch

High Touch is a film about human connection in the wake of modern capitalism, and the fleeting clarity that accompanies serious illness. Karlie Hustle redefines success after a life-altering cancer diagnosis, only to emerge from treatment isolated from her community support system in a global pandemic.

Karlie Hustle navigates motherhood and the music industry in New York City, all while battling breast cancer. She’s weathered by chemotherapy and surgeries, but also by years as a participant in late capitalism’s trappings. A habitual work martyr, Karlie learns to accept help from others and reprioritizes her life in order to survive.

A community of Karlie’s “angels” band together to support her and her family through a year of chemo and surgeries. Within months of receiving a clean bill of health, a global pandemic ensues. While the world falls through the cracks of failing systems, Karlie grapples with surviving one disease, only to be faced with the harsh realities of another.
