Watch the full video by Steve Lancello here.
Interview by Zach Moeller.
How long have you known Steve and when did you first get involved with this project?
I met Steve in 2017 while I was injured. I started filming him actually. We were working on a video for Fairman’s Skateshop. After that we just started getting out more and filming in Philly and New York when I moved to Brooklyn.
How long did you spend filming for the part?
About three years ago we started filming for it. Slowly people were getting more footage until it looked like a video that would have full parts.
50-50 p- Sam McKenna
What’s the difference between working on an independent video like this versus filming for a project with a sponsor?
Filming for a brand I usually have more spots in mind that I want to skate, but with this video I mostly skated the in between spots I normally might not have planned on skating, which kept it feeling pretty natural.
Any good stories from the time spent filming for this part?
Taking a trip to D.C. in January. We slept on the skate shop floor. I don’t think the heat was working either haha. Celebrating Thanksgiving at Applebee’s with Sam McKenna and Steve was funny. Sam shot the 50-50 around the corner on a rail that was in the mag a while back and later that night we ran up the Applebee’s gift card for some turkey and margs.
Whose part from the video are you most stoked on?
Jake Coleman is so good at skating and hasn’t had a part before, plus he had to deal with a few injuries while filming for it, so it’s rad to see his first part come out as the first part in Wealth.
