German in Venice reoprts from the huge fire in Malibu.

"Last night I happened to drive around in the early morning hours and I got a notification on my phone that there is a huge wildfire in Malibu. I drove from Venice Beach all the way to Malibu at 1 AM. I could not believe my eyes how many different fires I saw in the Malibu Hills hundreds of firefighters lots of fire engines helicopters with water try to fight the fire. I left a Malibu at six in the morning and the fires are still burning."

"Against The Current," is a short film documenting the artistic process of the legendary Skateboarder and Filmmaker, Stacy Peralta. Made in conjunction with his art show debuting at CCC gallery this fall and directed by Dana Shaw, it’s not just a love letter to a life of skateboarding but a celebration of the spirit of creativity and commitment.

Stacy shares his various inspirations from childhood to present day, and the challenges and lessons learned while working to develop this new visual language in his iterations of these tools of joy from the past.

The work also explores his temporal and obsessive relationship to the skateboard collection that intrinsically holds the memories of those ephemeral halcyon days. As well as the decay and degradation that entropy and time have on our prized possessions, and even ourselves.


This week at the Venice Pier.
