John's Vid

About This Movie

So, 'John's Vid' is an interesting little skate video from 2020, helmed by the elusive Johnny Wilson. It has this raw, unfiltered vibe that you don't see much in mainstream skating. The pacing is pretty laid-back, almost meditative at times, which contrasts nicely with the fast-paced tricks. You just vibe with the atmosphere, with the sound of wheels grinding and the ambient noise of the skate park. The practical effects are minimal but effective; it’s all about the skaters and their raw talent. There's not a lot of flashy editing or gimmicks, just a genuine love for the sport and the culture. It really captures that sense of community among skaters, which I think is what sets it apart.

This film is part of a niche collection, appealing to skate enthusiasts and collectors of underground cinema. It has seen limited physical releases, making original copies somewhat scarce. The lack of mainstream recognition and the anonymity of its director might contribute to its cult status among hardcore fans. Collectors often value films like this for their authenticity and the rare glimpse they provide into the skateboarding world.
