Level Army Premiere

Last Night was the premiere of Ed Hubert’s latest release LA*. The Sallis Benney on Grand Parade was packed full with level skaters and familiar Brighton faces, and man was everyone hyped for that shit. The rumour going round town yesterday was that Ed had sold double the amount of tickets as there were seats, I managed to get in pretty quickly, so don’t know if everyone else got in or not, but the crowds outside were massive (bigger than when Desmond Decker played there) so I’m sure there were a few sad faces. Inside the theatre however it was pretty much a party. No one had taken notice of the no alcohol sign, so after the half an hour or so of waiting for someones dad to deliver their glasses, the Sallis Benney had become pretty rowdy. And then the film started.

Now I don’t know much about skating, but I know a bit about film making, and this film was made very well indeed. It had everything going for it, impressive skating, beautiful shots, timing, great soundtrack and was all under an hour long, which is like the perfect time for a skate film. Young Isaac Miller, who Ed suggested was going to make it big, seemed to be the crowds favourite , aswell as Leon Karakashian’s section which was pretty much 3 minutes of comedy rather than skating.

All in all, big up Ed and everyone that was involved for making the whole thing go ahead. Can’t wait until the next one, which apparently is a collaboration between Ed and Slim Jim.
