Founded by two skateboarders with vision, NCP Films is not your ordinary production company. Coan ??Buddy? Nichols and Rick Charnoski met while skating at New York-area skate spots in the mid-90s, just before skating made an explosive
crossover into the mainstream.
Old-school devotees of early ??80s Thrasher magazine and disdainful of the gloss and posturing of much of the skate scene, Nichols and Charnoski established their creative manifesto with Fruit of the Vine, a skating documentary filmed entirely in Super-8. Dubbed ??the Endless Summer of skateboarding movies,? Fruit of the Vine struck a nerve with younger skaters as well as aging skaters who had been feeling out of touch with the scene as they moved into their twenties and thirties. Subsequent films Northwest, Ecuador, Tobaccoland and Tent City built upon their unique vision of grassroots skating and have propelled Nichols and Charnoski??s NCP Films to the forefront of inventive documentary and commercial work.
