Houston Independent Filmer D.C. Boson’s
skate video ANBOF (A Nickel Bag of Funk)
premiered at the Brick SkateShop on Saturday
night November 18, 2017. Even with the
success of the night, the video attracted so
many skaters that those in attendance had
to/gladly to get a chance to watch this vid
with a packed house. Those in attendance
were sitting on the floor, standing along the
wall and standing outside watching through
a window. The night and video almost did
not happen. After working a year on the
skate video ANBOF, an unexpected computer
crash resulted in the loss of all footage
and files. The loss of video clips and their
edits from the computer crash killed Boson’s
desire to begin another film and state,
“I slacked for a while till my homeboy Deandre
Daniels (Dre) started bugging me about
filming and the spirit for filming was back.”
D.C. Boson’s inspiration came from his love
for skating and a borrowed Hi8 Camera
(maybe explain the video quality of a hi8,
that fact that it is hard to make out the
people being filmed, Zero’s first video “thrill
of it all” was shot in a hi8 a now discontinued
video format maybe mention that) that
eventually became his and said he would
have never gotten into film making if it
wasn’t for his skating background. What
a shame that would have been! Along this
journey he met some people and started
a little crew who would then become the
insane footage and stars for A Nickel Bag Of
Funk.
The film features Deandre Daniels, An
Nguyen, Korben Mitchell, Justin Flip, Elijah
Boyd, Brendon Sanders, Jared Gutierrez,
Justin Wiederman, and Josh De La Rosa.
Everyone in the film is loved like a brother,
says Boson. The music mix was provided
by Jade Castillo and kudos to Jade for the
great mix of beats that fit each of the skaters.
Music in itself is its own art and I could
not agree more for the statement from
Boson. The video has an array of technical
tricks, smooth styles and the music to
match on all the skaters featured. Rails,
stairs and…PARKING BLOCKS…OH MY!!!
After watching this film, I was ready to hit
the streets and try not to get laid out.
Definitely a recommended video to watch
and update you when and where you can
purchase this DVD. Thank you D.C. Boson
for your contribution to Texas SkateBoarding!!
