Rollerblading has transformed over the years, and few have navigated its Evolution like Julian Bah. Born and raised in Atlanta, Julian rose to the top as a professional skater, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the sport while staying true to his unique style.
“EVOLUTION” explores how skating has grown, the challenges that have come with it, and how Julian has redefined himself through each shift—both on and off the blades. This documentary captures the resilience, creativity, and adaptability that keeps Julian moving forward.
Thanks to Chris Smith for providing some of the footage you see in the final film. I’d also like to thank Richard Williams, Chilly-O, and T.K. Art for providing their time for interviewing with us. As well as Village Skatepark for providing a space for this to come to fruition. Shot on Blackmagic Ursa 12k Canon CN-E 18-80 Rokinon 8mm Edited and Color Graded In Davinci Resolve by Brandersen.

Tactics (2024) by Brandon Andersen - Full Video.
Quoting Factionskatecompany.com/team/:
When it comes to unconventional tricks, skating to the beat of your own drum, and eating ’never been done before’ switch-ups for breakfast, Jimmy Cisz has us covered. Hailing from the sunny shores of Southern Florida, Jimmy stands out in a room full of standouts. With a signature style unlike any other skaters out there, a trick vocabulary that will leave you scratching your head, and the ability to skate literally anything in front of him, you’ll find yourself consumed to just watching him or all of his skate parts over and over and over.
Jimmy willl spin, flip, grind, cess, roll, and defy logic as he speeds across your field of view and shuts down all your favorite spots. And for a person with such a presence, he’ll be gone as quickly as he appeared, slipping back into shadows and making you question if what you just saw was reality or just a fever dream. Jimmy rounds out an already stacked Faction Skate Company team and brings a flavor and spice to our roster that satiates the palate in a way that no one else can. We’re excited to shine a brighter light on his skating to show the world just how bright his light already is.

Brought to you by @Sk8TL_Official | @RollATL | @Branders3n. Gravity explores the massive uprising of blading and quads in Atlanta. “I was first introduced to the idea of this project through our infamous Thursday night skates which have attracted upwards of 100 people all coming out every Thursday night to enjoy a simple passion. It was at my first Thursday Night that made me realize that Atlanta has formed this amazing community, someone needed to document it and share it!” - Brandon Andersen.
In association with @Sk8tl_official and @rollatl we present “GRAVITY”. Shot over the course of the last year and half Atlanta has seen a large uprising in participants from Roller Skating to Rollerblading, and Aggressive. Having become such a large and diverse community I felt it was only fitting to document it and tell the story that everyone can look back on for years to come. - Brandon Andersen.
Shot on Blackmagic Pocket 6K.
Filmed over the course of 5 sessions two weekends in Atlanta and two weekends in Charlotte. Matt Lyon and myself really put our heart and souls into this project!
We had been talking about doing a part together for a year before the first session happened. he had just wrapped his full length video SCRUBS and myself just wrapping Moments in Time eventually our schedules aligned and we got to work but, without further ado here’s “Charlanta”. - Brandon Andersen.
Featuring - Matt Lyon. Directed By - Brandon Andersen. Music By - Childish Gambino and S U R V I V E. Filmed on Panasonic GH5, Sony A6300, Mavic Air.
