Stoked
About This Print
Shep’s old friend and former pro skateboarder Blaize Blouin was working with Shep at Alternate Graphics when he made the “Andre Gator” graphic using the Vision/Gator spiral, and it was really Blaize and some other skaters’ telling of the Gator story that inspired me to make the film STOKED. Most people accepted that Gator was responsible for his actions, but Blaize was the first (of many) skaters I met who thought Gator was innocent and had somehow been framed, or even more frightening – that the girl who was killed somehow “deserved it.” This pervasive disconnect between the actions of Gator, and his friends/fans ability to accept reality, inspired me to pursue the truth and tell it in a way that would help people comprehend it.
