"Behind the Scenes Lords of Dogtown" Book Published
We would like to take this moment to thank for contributing this article: "Behind the Scenes Lords of Dogtown" Book Published. Anyone that contributes is a welcome addition to AllOnSkateboarding.com!From Toronto to Tinseltown - GTA Based Publisher Teams Up with Columbia/TriStar Pictures to Create "Behind the Scenes Lords of Dogtown"Concrete Wave Editions (a division of Concrete Wave Magazine), based in Thornhill, Ontario has accomplished something rare in the world of Canadian book publishing – it has teamed up with a Hollywood studio. "It was all about timing and the fact that Concrete Wave is so focused on skateboarding – a key foundation of the film," remarks Publisher Michael Brooke. Brooke had initially pitched TriStar Films to advertise their new skateboard film "Lords of Dogtown" in Concrete Wave Magazine. TriStar, however, had other plans. "Although we are a niche skateboard magazine, our circulation was just too small for TriStar" As luck would have it, however, TriStar needed a book about the making of the film delivered within 90 days.
Concrete Wave was at the right place at the right time and took on the assignment."Behind the Scenes" is an unusual book in that it incorporates hundreds of images along with handwritten notes from the director, designers and actors. The pressure to deliver on time was unrelenting. Brooke, along with his trusty designer, Markintosh and the folks at TriStar, including director Catherine Hardwicke spent hours going over every detail. "It was a pretty amazing experience – the level of intensity is something that you can't imagine. Dozens of people were overseeing this book and I am proud of what we accomplished – even if it added a few extra gray hairs to my head," says Brooke.
Set in the 1970's, the film tells the story of a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown." The group pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. They took their unique "surf style" to empty swimming pools, pushing themselves higher with each passing session. In the process, they became skate legends. The book features extraordinary images of Heath Ledger, Johnny Knoxville, Emile Hirsch, Victor Rasuk and John Hamilton. It also includes photos of Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta along with a host of other skate legends.
