Video: A culture-shocked tour of Japan by skateboard
- Text by HUCK HQ
- Photography by Stills from Anonymous Zone by Kai Neville
Anonymous Zone is a short film that takes four skaters and places them in entirely unfamiliar territory: the streets of three Japanese cities.
Directed by Kai Neville, it’s a cleverly shot vignette that’s light on dialogue (“How do you say, ‘Real shit’?”) but packed with immersive sequences: bemused bystanders, irritated security guards and sweeping cityscapes.
