A message from the Director
The most rewarding aspect of making this film was the opportunity to travel the globe with a group of talented, creative, and not to mention amazingly goofy people. For the past 9 months we’ve been chasing the snowfall across 3 continents. Sometimes even departing on trips within minutes of checking the weather. These last minute escapades allowed for a level of spontaneity and freedom unprecedented in my filmmaking career, and helped me truly document who we are; something I am genuinely proud of.
Join us at Newschoolers.com on Wednesday December 9th at 5pm PST for the online world premiere. We hope you enjoy watching Outdoor Graduation as much as we did making it.

Armed with wheat paste, stencils, and spray paint (among other things) Captain Safety brings a street art approach to his progressive graphic design styles.”

Years after his relocation to Denver, Captain Safety continues to hone his craft. Joining the ranks of the So-Gnar art collective, Captain Safety has helped produce numerous graphically focused product collaborations with lifestyle brands around the world, including product development and logo design.
