Christian Fletcher and the Judges

While the June 25th deadline has passed amazing new films continue to arrive in various states of completion. Deadlines could be rolling....Mahalo for everyone's submissions of stoke. We've been geeking out on new levels. As if the features (hush hush at this point) weren't off the chain, the shorts are destined to blow minds. Lookout for some seriously hype work from Toddy Stewart, Charlie Smith, Matt Wesson, the Campbell Brothers, Andrew Kidman and Mr. Runman! The comedic shorts will soak seats, fuhgitaboutit...stoke levels are maxing into overdrive!

bvd sfr we will judge u!
