MADE IN VENICE the movie is the inside story of the skateboarders of Venice, California, and the struggle to make the dream of a skatepark come true. MADE IN VENICE captures the firsthand stories and recollections of 40-plus years of skateboarding in Venice that started with the Z-Boys, and continued with its legendary street skaters and the iconic Venice Skatepark.
Never-before-seen Super-8 and early video footage, along with rare black and white stills, take you back to innovative demos on the Boardwalk and skating the walls of the Pavilion, as the Venice skaters pushed the boundaries of street skating and put it on the global map.

When Jamie O’Brien is your personal coach, it’s hard not to progress. Jamie pushes Poopies, his protege, to learn board transfers at Waimea before convincing him to get back on his waterskis. Lastly, the teacher and the student try to couch surf… literally.
