Word is a 40 minute skateboard film featuring high-velocity skateboard footage and stunning visuals and opening title sequences.

Nineteen professional and industry-level skateboarders have gathered together, combining their talents and sharing about their faith in this film. Each rider has chosen a piece of scripture that holds deep meaning in their life. As the film unfolds, each selection of scripture is revealed one-by-one, with engaging visuals and cinematic flair. Each of these title sequences work to not only introduce each athlete before he skates, but also tell a deeper story about why he does.

Many of the riders featured, such as, Anthony Carney (Ethos Skateboards), Jud Heald (Untitled Skateboards), and Sierra Fellers (Circa Shoes) are part of the hearbeat of the skateboard culture, having been featured in skateboard publications and videos over the last decade. By adding skateboarding legends Richard Mulder (Chocolate Skateboards and Nike) and Scott Yamamura (Ethos Skateboards, Seattle native) to the line-up, the film boasts a full arsenal of diverse talent and creativity.
