Dogtown and Z-Boys
A group of rebellious Venice Beach teens, the Z-Boys, rise from the run-down streets of Dogtown to revolutionize skateboarding with their fearless style and outlaw attitude, reshaping extreme sports culture forever.
“The birth of extreme”
Synopsis

Featuring old skool skating footage, exclusive interviews, and a blistering rock soundtrack, the film captures the rise of the Zephyr skateboarding team from Venice's Dogtown, a tough "locals only" beach with a legacy of outlaw surfing.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
