Pas Normal Studios “Because I Love It”

Director

A short film character portrait of pro skateboarder and cyclist Axel Cruysberghs. Talking to Axel in my research for the film, he described how while training for the Olympics in skating, he felt like he was becoming a robot. The same tricks over and over, the same training day after day. It was through cycling that he found himself again, feeling free to explore, to take a different path, to turn right when he usually turns left. This dichotomy became the center of the film.
