IN VENICE is a series of three short portraits that follows the lives of Myriah, Terrell and Solayman. Their individual stories are tied together by their mutual deep connection to Venice Beach. A unique and colorful place that serves as a creative space and emotional outlet for many.
Terrell is a professional rollerskater, who has been part of the Venice Roller Skate Disco since it first started 40 years ago. He has experienced first hand how Venice Beach has changed over the years, but still loves it as much as ever. Terrell still spends his weekends skating and dancing at the Venice Skate Plaza.
IN VENICE is a trilogy of short intimate portraits that give us a little glimpse into their lives and and highlights the importance of belonging and community in the often lonely world we live in.
