Stacy is a legendary filmmaker and skateboarder who has left an indelible thumbprint on everything he’s embarked on.

His first film, Dogtown and Z Boys, won him Best Director at Sundance. His next, Riding Giants, was the first documentary ever to open the Sundance Film Festival. Most recently, Stacy directed The Yin and Yang of Gerry Lopez for Patagonia, shedding light on the dynamic life and career of surfing's "Mr. Pipeline." By age 19, Stacy was the world’s number one professional skateboarder. He revolutionized the sport when he founded the legendary Bones Brigade skate team, launching the careers of Tony Hawk and countless others, then built his own business, Powell Peralta, into what is today still one of the top skateboarding companies. In filmmaking, Stacy relishes working with real people and telling their stories. He has always kept one foot in the culture and one foot just outside, gaining unparalleled access in such an intimately character-driven way that by the end of it you feel like you’re a part of that world.
