Directed by Joe Perrin and Lee Charron When I moved to Santa Cruz in the mid-’60s it was a skateboarder’s utopia. It was a destination that any discerning skater had to make a trip to. No cops. No hassles. Just skating and rad vibes, the way it was supposed to be. Not to mention the most righteous terrain on the planet. It seemed like it would last forever, but like any society built on a single premise, Santa Cruz started to decay, and what was once a skateboarder’s paradise became a filthy beach ghetto. It’s still all about the skating and not much else. That’s probably why the city fell apart in the first place…—Terkin Von Knobske

This autobiographical experimental documentary explores the story behind Ben Duffy’s first film, We Are Skateboarders, and the 15-year mental health journey that followed. Ben was 19 and living with undiagnosed bipolar disorder when he made the film. Although it became the second most-watched skateboarding documentary after Dogtown and Z-Boys, it was not a commercial success. As attention grew, Ben’s mental health deteriorated, forcing him to question the meaning of success in life and art.

The documentary captures his transformation from immense pain toward catharsis, self-love, and compassion. It is a raw and inspiring exploration of resilience, creativity, and mental health.

For most of us skateboarding is a way of life, but somehow the focus of almost every skate video has been based around single tricks that come together to make individual video parts. While we’ve always enjoyed watching and making these types of videos, there’s something special about knowing what went into a project and what it was like for those who experienced it first hand. Therefore, when we set out to make the new Fallen video, we wanted to document every aspect of our missions with the goal of taking the viewer on the journey with us. Over the course of two and a half years, we traveled to Turkey, Croatia, South Africa, Portugal, the American West and Thailand. The memories alone made the extended travel and uncomfortable situations worth the effort. We invite you to join us on the Road Less Traveled.
