Words cannot express how grateful I am that 'Stalwart' has finally been released. This is a NicePlaceBadSetting documentary that started taking form in 2024. Through trial and error, wisdom, and growth, and with the help of such exceptionally talented individuals, what was once a mere idea has become a tangible piece of media that showcases the intimate stories of three Southwestern Pennsylvania skateboarders navigating the fast-paced, low-attention, technological era that is encroaching on our society. What has been a beloved pastime for many youth across the world is facing pushback from growing social isolation and a lack of interest in physical community. Although faced with many trials, the skateboarders refuse to be conquered and will carry their passion forward. I thank the Good Lord and all of my good friends. Here’s to the pursuit of love, life, and truth! Starring: Jordan Taylor of Pilgrim Goods, Union Skate Supplies, and Eastern Logic.
