“Differently, Still” by Paul Shkordoff

Badbadnotgood's “Differently, Still” plays a significant role in creating the emotion and feeling of what the entire film is about. The public often views skateboarding as an intense sport that is fueled by adrenaline. When in reality, a lot of people's perspectives are centered around self-expression, purpose, and community. In the film, Fabus moment of doubt is silenced by Knechtel's narrative, which is reminding yourself why you do it in the first place - fueling the passion of your inner child and the curiosity of learning. This is bookended by a moment between the two that feels calm and inspirational. My purpose with this film is to showcase my love story to my first passion - skateboarding. I feel like this is a story a lot of different people in their passions can relate to.

FROM THE DIRECTOR:

“To me, “Differently, Still” is a combination of all things I'ved loved and pursued for as long as I can remember. Skateboarding, Music and Filmmaking. When I wrote this film, the only thing i had in mind was to honour the first thing I fell in love with - skateboarding. Without over-intellectualizing it, I really just wanted to make a film that encapsulated what it felt like to find skateboarding when I was a kid. It's been a pleasure to find passion through skateboarding, the community and everything that surrounds it. The entire film was shot on expired 35mm Kodak film which aided in the feeling of nostalgia that I desperately wanted to reproduce for the look of this film. I'm thankful to Paul Shkordoff for donating his time and presence to direct this film, Mark Delotinville of Big Pig for producing this film, and Badbadnotgood for providing the soundtrack to this film.  I couldn't have done it without them.”
