Ben Wannamaker Interview
By: Roussel
I've been wanting to do this interview for a while, just never got around to doing it, but one night on a screwy MSN I interviewed Ben Wannamaker from BentFilms. He insisted on staying hush hush about the movie business.
Roussel: So what have you been up since the snow melted?
Ben: I've been busy. Working locally, and thinking about the future alot. Started skateboarding, and I've got a surf trip in the works with Adam Lynam.
Roussel: Nice, you gonna film other sports during the summer?
Ben: We've been shooting surfing alot, and I've been working on my photography portfolio as well, just trying to mold the future for myself.
Roussel: Very nice, so BentFilms held a few comps last season, are you planning on having more next season?
Ben: Of course. We're never gonna quit. As long as people are going to ride, we are going to travel and be there for everything skiboarding has to offer. There's so much talent that no one knows about. I can't wait till it blows up again.
Roussel: Anything special being planned for next season?
Ben: We're heading to Japan at the start of the season, and Utah with Brinton, Toronto with Neal and Quebec with Serge are all going to be fun for sure. Japan will be an expereience!
Roussel: For sure, skiboarding's pretty big there isnt it?
Ben: Skiboarding has potential everywhere. The trip we are setting up will be complete with demos, contests, photo and video shoots. It's going to get out of hand.
Roussel: Sick, so when can we hope to see the next BentFilms movie coming out?
Ben: No comment
Roussel: Haha, it's all good, keep the suspense! Is there anything you can tell us at all?
Ben: Skiboarding is alive and well, I will leave it at that.
Roussel: For sure! Alright well that about raps it up, any last words? Shout outs?
Ben: Thanks alot to everyone who has supported the company over the years, Doc Roberts at Skiboards.com, Tibor Antal at CanonSkiboards.com, Greco at SkiboardsOnline.com, Kevin and Bailey at Tip-2-Tip.cjb.net, Everyone at Arrakis Records, and those who supported me from Ninja Tune Records. My heterosexual life partner Adam Lynam, Lyons, Serge, Dean, Andy, Simmons, Brinton, Wass, and anyone who has ever let me sleep on there floor.
