May 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

There’s a lot of talk out there about anarchy, about anti-establishmentarianism.  There’s a lot of talk about living the dream.  The creator of the real-place “Skatopia” and his constituents are doing it.  Skating, hedonism, and the impulses of the id reign.  Not for the faint of heart, “Skatopia” delves into the philosophies of aggressive patriarch Brewce Martin, a self-described dictator, and the mythos of his disciples, prone to foul mouths, crash-up derby driving, and escaping from realities of life outside the park.  Director of Programming for MLPBS Colin Powers and filmmaker Laurie House helm this down and dirty documentary.

“He comes to Skatopia for genuine reasons…to skateboard, get drunk, and [get] chicks….”

- Brewce, describing a regular visitor
