The Official Website of Amanda Theiler

If there are two things in the world that make me happy, they are skateboarding and video editing. Which means that when the two are put together, I’m basically in heaven. I’ll admit that I really know nothing about skateboarding other than that I know that I really, really love it. I don’t know how to do it, and I really don’t understand what they’re doing, but it’s the most entertaining thing I’ve ever seen. So while I was going through my morning ritual of reading the Lat34 Action Sports Blog and noticed that there is a Skateboard Film Festival this summer in Seattle, I began to wonder if I could go to this and write it off as a business expense. According to their website, the festival will include “Workshops and informational discussions on editing and filmmaking”, as well as the chance to meet other film makers. If this isn’t a reasonable excuse to fly to Seattle to watch skate videos all day and then write it off as business, I don’t know what is.
