Brad Oz Cinema proudly presents Justis Pope. “Justis skating is stylish, modern, and inspiration. His story is nothing short of just that. I meet Justis in 2006 in Mount Pleasant, MI. I was attending college, and he was in High School. Justis has always had an incredible trick selection paired with style and control - for a 16 year old skater, he could jaw drop anyone that had a sense of what skating is”.
“After college, I moved around the state and then to Portland, Oregon and back. During the pandemic, Justis and I linked back up to skate and film a few creative projects that the skate world seemed to enjoy. With this project, we knew we wanted to do something different. Something that transcends skating. That is an showcase of character as much as it is talent. This project opens with a poem, written by Justis. We take you on a journey to where it all started — a curb at his childhood trailer park.” - Brad Oz.

STREETS OF LAGOS | (African Rollerblading Documentary) by Dom West
Shot on location in West Africa, ‘Streets of Lagos’ provides a rare insight into the lives of Nigeria’s first generation of rollerbladers. What was once a niche sport that saw widespread participation across the globe in the late 90’s has emerged in 2020 as a fringe subculture in the streets of Lagos. Originally used as a way to navigate the city’s dense traffic, today, a select few use their skates as a form of self-expression, something which can be hard to find in what is one of the toughest cities in the world.
The story is told through the eyes of Daniel Ogbogu, Lagos’ strongest up-and-coming street skater, who gives insight into the struggles of daily life in Nigeria and the strength that skating gives him. He is joined by travelling professional athlete, Brian Freeman, who seeks to nurture the sense of community amongst the youths of Lagos and to help them find sense in the chaotic world in which they live.
A Film by Dom West. Starring Daniel Ogbogu & Brian Freeman. Soundtrack: Rob Law & Music Bed. Shot on location: Lagos, Nigeria.
