Tincan Folklore

About This Movie

Tincan Folklore is a fascinating slice of skateboarding culture from '96. Directed by Chris Pastras, it doesn’t just show tricks; it captures the vibe and ethos of the time. It’s this blend of raw skate action and the organic, unpolished feel that really stands out. The film features a mix of personalities, including Jason Lee and Ethan Fowler, who bring their unique styles and perspectives. The pacing feels almost like a laid-back afternoon skate session, letting you soak in the atmosphere instead of rushing through. Practical effects are minimal, but that’s part of its charm—what you see is what you get. It’s like a time capsule of the skate scene that year, and it has a certain authenticity that’s hard to find in more commercial fare.
