Legendary cinematographer Chris Doyle to judge online skate clip competition for the release of Paranoid Park
Winner of the 60th anniversary award at this year’s Cannes Festival, director Gus Van Sant (ELEPHANT, LAST DAYS) returns with the highly anticipated film PARANOID PARK. This adaptation of Blake Nelson's novel follows 16-year-old skateboarder Alex, who accidentally kills a security guard outside Paranoid Park, Portland's most infamous skateboarding park. When he decides to say nothing, he takes on a crushing burden of guilt with huge ramifications. Shot in Van Sant's hometown Portland, PARANOID PARK is full of suspense and his most lyrical and stylish film to date.
