Video: The Pit – A Film About Crowd Surfing


The Pit,” takes viewers into a world of bodies and bouncers. Film maker Depares introduces us to the fans who risk ejection from the venue, the musicians who live it every night (including Liam Cormier of Cancer Bats and Lee Spielman of Trash Talk) and the bouncers who try to keep everyone safe. The film contrasts the focused energy of the band with the seeming chaos of the pit.

The Pit was an official entry at the 2011 Short Stories film competition fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink.
