Alien Workshop Photosynthesis 2000
Photosynthesis (2000) by Alien Workshop is a groundbreaking skate film that blended raw street skating with artistic cinematography and a moody, eclectic soundtrack. Directed by Joe Castrucci and featuring a powerhouse lineup including Jason Dill, AVE, Josh Kalis, and Fred Gall, the film stood out for its creative editing, abstract visuals, and emotional tone. With segments scored by The Stooges, DJ Shadow, and Radiohead, Photosynthesis helped define a new era of skate videos—one where style, identity, and atmosphere mattered as much as the tricks. Even 25 years later, it remains a timeless classic that continues to inspire skate culture and visual storytelling.
