Make It Happen: Lowcard Trailer
That’s right we’re cutting the Make It Happen Docs. Here’s a little taste of Lowcard. Don’t worry, we’re not just teasing you with a trailer. The piece is actually cut. Yes you read right, it’s done. In fact we’re sending it off to the Skate Film Fest in Seattle today. If we get accepted to the festival, we’re going to premier it there on the big screen in August. Wish us luck.

Epicly Lowcard
Every year our friends over at Lowcard throw a huge party in Maine called Robstock. We had the invite to go this year, but couldn’t because we were gearing up for the Make It Happen trip. After seeing all the pictures and the footage, we were really bummed we didn’t go.
Lucky for you dear reader, Vice TV’s Patrick Odel did make it up to Robstock with camera in hand. That’s right, Robstock got Later’d… twice. Check it out.
Sick.
Livin' La Vida Lowlife (MIH 24)
Lowcard Mag in S.F. was the first story we shot for Make It Happen. Yeah, yeah, we know it’s lacking a vlog, but we’re hoping to remedy that situation sooner than later. The Lowcard Story is essential to our long term goals for the Make It Happen doc. (We even have clips from the shoot in our first video… that’s Lowcard Rob twirling his skateboard.) With that said, the cool folks over at Lowcardmag.com gave us a shout out in their news section a couple of days ago and we wanted to return the love.
On Wednesday, November 21st… that’s right the day before Thanksgiving… at Mars Bar in San Fran, Lowcard is throwing a release party for Issue #20. Oh yeah, the mystery cover will be revealed. 9PM, 7th and Brannan. If you’re in the Bay you better be there. …”GET HUNG OVER FOR THE HOLIDAY.”
And it Begins… (MIH3)
Huge news for us, we’ve decided on a rough route. …Which has a few detours to Jeremey’s hometown for a couple of weddings and a reunion. We’ll be posting that shortly. We also sent out feelers to a bunch of our friends, hitting them for insider info on their towns, story ideas, and couches to crash on. Then we started our story outreach and emailed dozens of potentials… and we even got nibbles from some really talented people in Texas, the Austin Craft Mafia. It looks like they’re down to work with us, and we’re really excited to shoot their story… especially since it includes portraits of dead rappers. We’ve got some other cool stuff cooking in Austin, but none of it is confirmed, so we’ll let you know when we know.
Last but not least, you may have noticed that in our first vlog, there are some shots of skaters. That’s because our first shoot was right here in San Francisco, the Lowcard Story. Lowcard is a D.I.Y. skate ‘zine in San Fran that has developed quite a following all around the country. More importantly, it’s built up a pretty solid skate community in S.F… which is a huge accomplishment in this city full independent skate “cells.”
We wrapped shooting on Lowcard Friday morning, with the option to do one extra shoot before we leave… if we think we need it. We’re really excited about this piece and we’ll upload some teaser clips as soon as we have all the footage captured in the next couple days.
(Also notice the naming convention at the top: MIH3, meaning this is the third Make It Happen entry. That way once we’re on MIH2447529083475, you can gauge just how far we’ve gone.)
