IT KEEPS ME SANE

Gustavo has been skateboarding for years. For him, the Venice Beach Skate Park has become much more than a place to practice.

Filmed over the course of a morning in Los Angeles, this short documentary follows Gustavo through a skateboarding session at Venice Beach Skate Park as he reflects on discipline, motivation, mental health, and the role skateboarding has played in his life.

More than progression or tricks, this is a portrait of consistency, routine, and the quiet impact skateboarding has had on the person he has become.

"It keeps me sane."
