First draft edit is complete, we have a film!

Evan — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:10:04 +0000

I can’t tell you how exciting this is and how much work has gone into this amazing project! It all started with Anton and his willingness to put his body on the line in order to draw attention to the youth of New Castle Indiana and though that 3-day run ended almost a year ago, we’re still feeling the aftershock. We at Agee Design have been working tirelessly with Anton to put together Running For Something the documentary, a film that tells the story of the kids and the run. The project hasn’t been without its ups and downs, but we’ve almost crossed the finish line by completing the first draft edit!

What does this mean? It means we’ve put together a completed rough draft of the film and only minor changes are needed. We’re literally 99% of the way done. We have a couple of minor improvements we’re planning to make and then we’ll be ready to release the film. The plan as of now is to release the movie online for free and accept donations, all proceeds going to the New Castle skatepark project. There may be other methods of distribution, we’re still talking about the options.

We’d like to send a special thanks out to those who have given their time and talent to this project, most especially Mitchell Agee at Agee Design who has done most of the editing of the film. More to come soon!

A quick update on the Running For Something documentary film

Evan — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:24:16 +0000

Greetings everyone, hope you’ve all been doing well! It seems like forever ago since October when the Running For Something event took place, but rest assured that lots of hard work has been going on with the Running For Something documentary production team! We’ve been hard at work organizing our footage from the shoot, cataloging and organizing almost 1TB of footage (that’s over 1,000 gigabytes). We hit a minor roadblock in the process of getting the film produced and edited but we’re now back on track and very excited about this film. It’s our hope that it’ll truly inspire people to help New Castle and their own communities to be supportive of the skateboarding and BMX-riding youth of their area.

We’ll keep you posted with updates and possibly even pieces of the film as it comes together. We’re working hard for you guys and we trust that it’s all going to pay off in the end.

A great day of filming at the DC Skate Plaza in Kettering OH

We spent the day Saturday in Kettering, OH filming for “Running For Something” and had an amazing time. We met lots of great people, got some amazing skate footage and even got to have a wonderful interview with Rob Dyrdek’s father Gene, who had some encouraging words for those of us trying to get a skate/BMX park built in New Castle Indiana.

We’d like to thank all of you who took some time out to speak with us! If you spoke with us and would like your interview to be included in the upcoming documentary “Running For Something” you can download and sign it here. Once you’ve done so you can email the signed form to evan@ageedesign.com.

Thanks guys for a great day!

Documentary pre-production meeting

Evan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:20:24 +0000

Today Anton and myself sat down with director Steve Houser to discuss the upcoming Running For Something documentary. This film is going to be a great way to not only capture the events surrounding this project, but also provide a great tool for opening up discussions about the problems facing this community and many similar communities around the country.

The film will begin production soon, be on the lookout for previews!
