Glass Carousel

About This Movie

Glass Carousel is an intriguing mix of documentary and narrative that captures the essence of skate culture through a unique lens. Shot by Jim Greco, it feels raw and authentic, like you're right there with the skaters, gliding through their world. The choice of Panasonic AF-100 with 24FPS gives it this almost dreamlike quality, enhanced by the Zeiss lenses that lend a distinct sharpness to the visuals. What’s fascinating is how they used an analog approach, filming onto a 35mm intermediary Kodak negative and printing it back, giving it that tactile feel often lost in digital. It’s a meditation more than just a skate film, exploring themes of freedom and movement, all wrapped in an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Shot in stunning 35mm, offering a distinct texture.Unique blend of documentary and drama.Deep dive into skate culture and personal freedom.
