See Tony Hawk & Rodney Mullen In Person At Mammoth Film Festival This Month
This month, Mammoth Lakes’ Mammoth Film Festival will be screening Pretending I’m a Superman, the documentary about the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game series. Tony Hawk‘s mega-popular series sold 9 million units during its initial run, and to date Hawk has been behind 18 games on 13 different platforms, selling approximately a million-kadjillion units worldwide to stoked gamers.
If ever there were games that deserved their own documentary, it’s the THPS series. Pretending I’m a Superman, produced by Ralph D’Amato and directed by Ludvig Gür, is a movie that tells the story of how skateboarding became a part of the mainstream by focusing on the success of the THPS franchise, starring Hawk, Steve Caballero, Mullen, and many more. The Berrics was lucky enough to be involved in the production at the early stages, and we’re super excited to learn that the doc will be released soon! (We’ve seen the final cut and it will definitely make your thumbs twitch if you have fond memories of these games.) Check out the official trailer and Mammoth Film Festival flyer above, and be sure to visit the Pretending I’m a Superman site for more release dates.
We just wrapped up Tony Hawk Week a few months ago, but if you missed it you can still check out all the videos (plus Hawk’s “Do a Kickflip!”) below.
