A Northwest Upbringing

Photos and Writing by James Mulcare

This photostory will follow my neighborhood friends and I as we create our first full-length skateboarding film, titled: A Northwest Upbringing. The film is being directed and edited by Ryan Wiseman. Featured skaters include: Ryan Wiseman, Logan Dodge, Michael Flugstad, Domonic Bressee, Nick Sogge, Alec Denby, Jacob Espina, Andrew Redey, Tyler Nooney, Luke Van Hollenbeck, and Myself.

The video will be based in our hometown, the Greater Seattle Area, and will focus on street skating. We will be visiting our favorite local spots and searching for new parks and street spots to stack footage. The task of filming the clips for the video will be shared throughout the members of the crew. For many of us, this will be our first long-format video project. The video will be produced entirely independently. So, we have no set end date for the project. The crew excited to put in the work and take the time to make this video our own.
