Zoot Circus

I've seen plenty of videos in my time and boy do I tell you what. A lot of these producers select their favourite metal/hip hop track, snap on the fish eye lens and that's their movie. Not the case here. Although these things are inherent in most underground themed videos for purely technical reasons, you can tell the people who have made this have put a lot of thought into this production. It is a pleasure to watch because it's slick, fresh and shows off some great skills. There are many graffiti artists out there who get no recognition outside the scene, and the same goes for practitioners of extreme sports. It's up to documentaries like this to shed light into this lifestyle because this isn't some plastic fantastic TV show with creamy jokes and slimy people. This is about what's going on when people don't care about the crap that is mainstreamed and just do something to express themselves. Well done. Wish there was more things like this out there.

U know this film is heavy. Its got all you want to see about a group of skaters, graffiti artists and maniacs touring eupore and going nuts. I recommend it to those who liked Dogtown and all the skaters out there hungry to see some tough tricks. The graffiti is also deep. So props to the film makers for doin something original, out of the box and still good to watch.

The production is also sick and slick, combining some deep fx and mind tripping sequences garnished with a aural wonder of a sound design and score.

Peace to these film makers.
