Stacy has left an indelible thumbprint on everything he’s embarked on, as both a filmmaker and legendary skateboarder. Kids imitate him, he inspires adults, and his collaborators inevitably call him a friend.

By age 19, Stacy became the number one professional skateboarder in the world and revolutionized the sport. When he founded the legendary Bones Brigade skate team he helped launch the career of Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, and countless others. When he was unhappy with the way his boards were being designed he built his own business, Powell-Peralta. And when he sought out a way to showcase skateboarders he made his own run-and-gun films and forever changed the format of sports documentaries. His first film "Dogtown and Z Boys" won Best Director at Sundance. His next film "Riding Giants" became the first documentary ever to open the Sundance Film Festival. As a filmmaker, Stacy has always kept one-foot in the culture and one foot just outside in order to get unparalleled access. His films not only invite you to see a side of the world you might never have known, they do so in such a way that by the end you feel like you’re a part of it.
