Holy Stokes! is the first full-length skate film from Veeco Productions since Let’s Live in 2007. It’s shot entirely in 4K ultra high-definition by skate-film auteur Russell Houghten. Shot in dozens of locations spanning every corner of the globe, it builds on more than 20 years and 30 influential films from the world of Volcom.

Some of the filming locations include Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Toronto, London, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Perth, Sydney, Auckland, and Bali, to name a few. Aside from those who graced the Philippine premiere, some of the other big name skaters featured in the film include Alex Midler, Arto Saari, Daan Van Der Linden, David Gonzalez, Jordan Trahan, Kyle Walker, Milton Martinez, and Ryan Sheckler.

According to Houghten, “Holy Stokes! is a visual documentation of raw skateboarding and the pursuit of stoke. It has been an awesome nightmare and my most ambitious project yet.” And if you catch it, you can’t help but agree. Skateboarding fans are sure to love this.

Holy Stokes! will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, xBox, and Vimeo On Demand on June 7th.
