Guinness World Record-holding skateboarder and author Chad Caruso will visit The Venice Waterfront on Thursday, May 1st, 5-10PM, for the first West Coast screening of his award-winning documentary, Across America, and to promote his highly anticipated photo book, Pushing Through America – featuring a foreword by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
The documentary, Across America, directed by filmmaker John Testa, provides a deeper look into Caruso’s passion for skateboarding and human connection. The film captures intimate moments from Caruso’s grueling daily push of more than 50 miles, weaving together his personal point of view with cinematic footage of his historic achievement. The screening will take place Thursday May 1st at The Venice Waterfront.
“Venice is where this whole thing started, so getting to finally premiere the film here feels long overdue. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while.” recalls Caruso.
