Director/writer Riley Blakeway has joined AIRBAG's roster.
Blakeway
grew up bi-nationally, jumping between Sydney and California. He began
making films at age 12, armed with a VHS camcorder and a desire to
capture his friends and the surfing and skateboarding communities that
surrounded him throughout his teenage years. This would eventually lead
to work documenting those subcultures around the world, and the chance
to create branded content with some of the world's best athletes. In his
early 20's, Blakeway began focusing on music videos, narratives and
commercial content, and was soon called upon by clients such as Nike,
Corona, Levis, Samsung and Diplo/Major Lazer.
His films have been
shown at festivals around the world, including Ciclope, The Vimeo
Awards, SXSW, Raindance and the New Orleans Film Festival. Blakeway's
work has been shared by The New York Times, The Atlantic, Huffington
Post, Pitchfork, NPR and The Los Angeles Times to name just a few.
