MIKE VALLELY - "Sponsored: Part 1" (1999)

Part 1 of "Sponsored". The documentary film about Mike Vallely up until the year of it's release, 1999. SPONSORED is a story that archives Mike Vallely's version of the American dream, and in doing so, accurately echoes the dream of an entire generation whose lives have been saved by skateboarding. From the days of parking lot handplant circles, to giant leaps of faith, and through heaps of sponsorship induced wisdom and woes, Vallely's history has been skateboarding's history - through all it's glorious ups and downs. Documented here in 35 minutes of videotaped gems, confessions, and testimonials, SPONSORED is an inspiring and pure chronicle that creates a vivid mosaic of people Mike V has touched, people he's been touched by, and the man himself. Film exposer Wing Ko acts as our director/personal eyepiece/tour guide into the life and times of Mike Vallely, and in doing so opens a window to the reason why so many of us are who we are.
