Dudes! We made a short film inspired by all of our fav films growing up skating and surfing like North Shore, Thrashin’, Rad, Point Break, Gleaming the Cube, Bill and Ted’s, the Goonies and Repo Man! It’s called LOTUS POINT and we’re dropping the first trailer right now!
Written by the two founders of EPSS — Ramsey Dau
@ramsey_dau (graphic designer / artist of EPSS) & Joel Kazuo Knoernschild
@joelkazuoknoernschild and directed by Joel (his “other” job is a director), we’ve been writing / working on this short film for over a decade and were able to pull in our close friends from the industry to make this collaboration happen. We’re so stoked to finally share it with you! It’s currently being submitted for the festival circuit and will keep you posted when and where it screens in the near future. Yew!

Teetering on the edge of eviction, two young skateboarders Trev and Nate are inseparable best friends born and raised in the quickly gentrifying neighborhood of Echo Park.
Buying a VHS tape at a local garage sale, they discover a 90s home movie showing a forgotten, mythical wave breaking in L.A.’s Echo Park Lake! This discovery leads them on a quest and fight for survival against a corrupt local developer for the legend that is Echo Park’s long lost wave, Lotus Point!
