On today's episode I speak with photographer and filmmaker Patrick Odell. Patrick is most well known for his popular docu series titled Epicly Later'd which showcases stories on professional skateboarders and skateboarding culture. Prior to starting his documentary series Patrick worked as a photographer for Thrasher Magazine traveling the world photographing skateboarders such as Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco, Spanky , and Jerry Hsu to name a few. In this interview I speak to Patrick about his new book titled “Epicly Later'd” which is a body of work comprised of photos from his popular blog back in the early to mid 2000's documenting his daily life living in NYC in his 20's. I also speak to Patrick about the process of creating his epicly later's docu series. I've been a big fan of Patricks work and his show so it was a real pleasure to get a chance to speak with him! www.patrickodell.com Purchase Patrick's Book : https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/468725-patrick-odell-epicly-laterd?lang=en_GB Use Promo Code "banter" for 2 months free at www.picdrop.com Purchase a Photo Banter Hat : https://thephotobanter.bigcartel.com/?_gl=1*1hxyx4z*_gcl_au*MTY3ODMwODk1MS4xNzI4ODYzOTY3LjY3MTYyNDc5NC4xNzI4ODY2ODE3LjE3Mjg4NjY4MjY.*_ga*MTk1MjgzNDM5OS4xNzI4ODYzOTY3*_ga_QZ4HDFTSEZ*MTcyODg2Mzk2Ni4xLjEuMTcyODg2NzE4Ny42MC4wLjExNzgwNDYwMzA.
Law Chen's familial documentary Starring Jerry as Himself follows retired Florida man Jerry C. Hsu as he's recruited by Chinese police to become an undercover agent. The documentary follows Jerry as he retells his story about how he was recruited, what actions he needed to take to help inform the agents, and, most importantly, the lengths he goes to to hide his recruitment from his family.Starring Jerry as Himself features Jerry and his family re-enacting Jerry's story, which is frequently tense, but thanks to the optimism and positive outlook of the world that Jerry has, the film is also rather endearing.In the following interview with Jerry and his son (and the films producer) Jonathan, we delve into the spoilers of the film, and as Jonathan mentions at the start, the two would hope that audiences go into the film knowing as little as possible.Starring Jerry As Himself was the Grand Jury Prize Winner at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival, where it also received the award for Best Actor for Jerry, and it was the Audience Award winner.In the following interview, Jerry talks about his life on screen, what it was like reenacting these moments of his life, while Jonathan talks about what it is like to have Jerry as a father.This interview was recorded ahead of the films launch at the Castlemaine Documentary Film Festival in June 2024. Keep an eye out for a future release in Australia.Thank you for listening to this episode of The Curb podcast.

Jerry Hsu, a retired engineer living in Florida, receives a phone call from someone claiming to be his cellphone provider. They are threatening to cut off his service because the Shanghai Police Department says Jerry is speaking out against the Chinese government and engaging in money laundering. As a Taiwanese immigrant, Jerry is frightened; there must be a misunderstanding. The person on the other end of the line is very persistent and convinces Jerry to work as a secret agent for the police, and he eventually wires up to $1 million from his bank account in order to protect himself. After Jerry transfers the last of his life savings and realizes this was all a scam, he shares what's happened with his son, who is a filmmaker in New York City. The father-son duo then decide the best way to share Jerry's unfortunate experience and alert other families is to create a documentary film. And in this heartbreaking yet -warming film, Jerry plays himself.

Director Marek Kozakiewicz discusses how he gained the trust of the women to tell their story, and how the film has helped to give them the confidence to be more open with their relationship.In Starring Jerry as Himself (winner of the Slamdance Grand Jury Documentary Feature Film Award, Audience Award for Documentary Feature Film, and Acting Award), the genre lines become blurred between one part crime thriller, and one part documentary.

Alex and his crew were constantly getting chased around NY, but they made the city their own and documented all of it – perfectly summarized in their book, Full Bleed.Alex and I discuss how he helped pioneer skateboarding n NYC, the early days managing Supreme, how he feels about skate culture being mainstream, keeping the vibes positive, and the 10th anniversary of his epic skate photography book, Full Bleed. The shots in Full Bleed span 30 years, with contributions from over 40 photographers. Featuring the work of Giovanni Reda, Jessica Bard, Ivory Serra, Tobin Yelland, Miki Vuckovich, Thomas Campbell, Larry Clark, Ed Templeton, Jerry Hsu, Atiba Jefferson, Spike Jonze, Bryce Knights, Angela Boatwright, Athena Currey, Kenneth Cappello, Charlie Samuels, Andy Kessler, Mike O'Meally, Sammy Glucksman, Allen Ying, and more.*Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on loopwheel
Directed by Law Chen and produced by Jon Hsu, STARRING JERRY AS HIMSELF is a docu-fiction hybrid that tells the amazing true story of Jerry Hsu. Divorced but devoted to his family, Jerry is an honest and hard-working man who wants to do what's right. However, when Jerry receives a call from the government, he finds himself enlisted to help the CIA bring down a notorious criminal, without the knowledge of his family. As things begin to spiral out of hand, Jerry must work tirelessly to maintain his double life in order for justice to be served. In this 1on1, we speak to Chen and Hsu about what makes Jerry special.
Episode 25 features artist, art director, photographer, and (of course) skateboarder Jerry Hsu.This episode is an extra special one for me due to my personal fandom of Jerry's work. From watching his Stay Gold b-sides nearly 100 times, wearing his Sci-Fi Fantasy label, owning his The Beautiful Flower Is The World photo-book; I have found myself immersed in Jerry's creative world since I was a teenager. This interview was months in the making and an absolute dream come true that I was able to create a platform that would invite such a personal hero :)Throughout the interview we touch on several different subject matters from reflecting on his years of professional skating, his photo work, love of book making, running Sci-Fi, and even family. It was eye opening for me to hear about the immense pressure that skating can bring at that level and how psychologically tolling it can be.It's too daunting for me to write out all that we discussed, but I will expound slightly on a part I did not expect...but really enjoyed. Jerry spoke about his wonderful relationship with his wife and how impactful/inspiring she has been in not only his life, but also his creative outlets. He explained how crucial it is to find a partner in life that can challenge you to be a better version of yourself. That having "yes" people around you can be detrimental to personal growth and that he supremely values how critical his wife can be. This is what I do this for! Humbled that this worked out and that it went so well. So so excited for everyone to hear this one. Much love
