I received an email from Dressen this morning about a new film by Brian Lotti titled "1st and Hope". Dressen and Knox are featured skaters in the movie and it looks like a really sweet movie and everyone must check it out when completed and released. Check out the synopsis on the First and Hope website and for the trailer, click here!
Until it's released, Brian Lotti has organized a 1st & Hope Exhibition in Downtown LA on Saturday, October 21st at Berras Park (690 Myer St. East Bank L.A. River, off the 7th).

The Exhibition will not only feature the "Arts District" version of the movie, it will also feature the works of several downtown area artists (modern painting, printmaking, drawing, photography and sculpture). There will also be a short series of previews for upcoming films created by skateboarders.
Here is a list of Exhibition events for this night:
7:00pm-9:00pm : 1st and Hope exhibition reception (Traction Avenue Chamber Orchestra)
9:00pm-9:45pm : "Arts District" version of "1st and Hope"
10:00pm-12:00am : Skatejam with Blood on the Stereo and Moonrats
