Private Project

Batmite

This student production unravels the history of skateboarding through community leader Brian "Batmite" Beauchene, a well-known skateboarder native to the Knoxville area. Beauchene's career in skateboarding started in the 70s with DIY parks and street skating. Today Beauchene owns the only local skate shop in Knoxville, Tennessee, Pluto Sports, and has given the skate community a safe place to practice their sport.
