A collection of documentary films, gatherings, and cultural stories exploring the people, traditions, and creative communities shaping Venice, California.
From the Beat generation to the invention of skateboarding, Venice has continually redefined what culture on the American edge can look like. Through this project, we wanted to celebrate the people, traditions, creativity, and independent spirit that continue to shape Venice today—while helping preserve the stories and communities that make the neighborhood so distinct.

A large-scale cultural showcase hosted outside a historic abandoned church in Venice's Oakwood neighborhood to support the vision of transforming the space into a future community center.
