All to give back

Hello!

My name is Isaiah, I'm 18 and my main passions are skateboarding, filming/producing and giving back. I've been skateboarding for about 8 years now and been filming for about a year and a half now and I love doing both so much! As with any passion I want to move forward with building something concrete, I want to start both a skateboard and production company. I'm currently attending college for a degree in business and marketing and I also plan to go to film school when that process is completed. I believe I've attached a couple of the videos I've done so far. Really just learning as I go on with each film. 


I created this account because my main goal is to use film making and skateboarding as a tool to better those around me, give back, and bring a different perspective to skateboarding as a whole and I need your help in doing that! (: By funding the start up of my skateboard company, ill be allowed to give back in a great way; to "pay it forward" in a way. My company will revolve around giving back, using the majority of the funds, aside from keeping the company running, to give away free boards, clothing, shoes...etc. for those who can't afford it on their own like the younger children I skateboard with. Eventually I wish to have the funds to provide sholarships, create jobs, housing, and even skateparks in communities like the one I grew up in. Please feel free to take a look at the documentary I produced if its not up at the top already ( " Welcome to my world" Documentary" ) if you get a chance. Skateboarding has manage to keep me out of trouble and on the right path and I just want to be able to give others that opportunity. "Welcome to my world" was my very first film and I didnt have much eqiupment at the time so I did  the best with what I had. We all had fun and it was an amazing time and I'll be remaking it this summer!(: 

From that sparks my passion for film making. After high school I got a job at a grocery store and since have been able to purchase a quality camera and equipment to assist in making my films as great as they can possibly be. I want my films to have substance, themes that leave you thinking such as my documentary and I've done the best I can with what have so far but the equipment costs have gotten a bit overwelming. Since I started working, I've put a little less than $5,000 into my filming equipment over time.



Along with my skateboard company I'd like to start up a production company that revolves around films with substance, ones that you can learn from or leave you as a changed person, wholesome films. The funds from projects I'll produce with my equipment will also go towards giving back, but not just to the skateboarding community. I want these funds to go towards young aspiring film makers such as myself who want to learn as I do. Providing funds for "full ride" scholarships to film school and being able to provide them with what they need to start up. I just want to give back to skateboarding and to my community as a whole and to give children younger than me a positive role model. 

Thank you for your time (:
