Kevin White

1990年代半ばのロサンゼルス。13歳のスティーヴィーは兄のイアン、⺟のダブニーと暮らしている。⼩柄なスティーヴィーは⼒の強い兄に全く⻭が⽴たず、早く⼤きくなって彼を⾒返してやりたいと願っていた。そんなある⽇、街のスケートボード・ショップを訪れたスティーヴィーは、店に出⼊りする少年たちと知り合う。彼らは驚くほど⾃由でかっこよく、スティーヴィーは憧れのような気持ちで、そのグループに近付こうとするが…。

Features Kevin White, Aramis Hudson, Zach Saraceno, Nico Hiraga, and Olan Prenatt skating, having fun, and getting into all of the hijinks that we’ve come to expect from the Civ.

The second episode of Illegal Civilization's Summer of '17 moves away from a story of romantic love and instead moves to the love and tension of friendship, keeping with the themes of turmoil and familiarity presented in episode one. This time the films opens with a search for a lost wallet, the morning after a party. But as the film progresses it is clear that the search has heavier implications than just searching for some lost cash.

For many young people, summer in the suburbs is its own little universe. During this precious chunk of time off from school, adults are often out of sight, even further out of mind, and friends become the most important people on the planet. As you skate, swim, or chill through the days, there’s the opportunity of getting to know your pals — and yourself — better than ever.
