Virgin Blacktop is a film about life, death and brotherhood amongst suburban New York skateboarders.
What We Need & What You Get
VIRGIN BLACKTOP is in need of exactly $44,000.00 in order to tell the story properly. Above is a pie chart that shows exactly where the funds will be distributed. If I don’t reach my entire goal I will need to cut back in the technical areas. The quality will suffer and/or the film could be delayed for years. If I achieve my funding goal, I’ll be psyched and you will see it real soon. Please check out my unique perks that I’ve been assembling for this campaign which all relate to VIRGIN BLACKTOP. The photos of the perks start right below this very sentence!
Highly respected action-sports photographer Charlie Samuels began his career photographing skateboarding for The New York Times Magazine.

VIRGIN BLACKTOP is a culmination of my visual storytelling career.
