On saturday, November 21^st, Supercharged, the life and times of Tim Brauch was premiered for the european audience with a screening at the bastard store.

The documentary met our expectations, drawing our attention on Tim’s story narrated by close friends and skate-mates. Rather than a movie on skateboarding, it’s a documentary that illustrates Tim’s positive approach to life. An ordinary guy, capable of building solid and deep relationships with friends and family.

Starting from his first “steps” on a board in his driveway all the way through to the big contest victories, when coming out of nowhere he would go to a contest and beat his idle Steve Caballero, or his legendary trips with the BMC friends. Everything narrated by the moved and sincere voices of Cab, Chet Childress, Bryce Kanights and the Brauch family.

Thanks to I-D Impronte Digitali, Diana Manfredi at SpaghettoChild for their great contribution into making this night happen and Bea Sugliani for the pics.
