Very few documentaries make the kind of cultural splash that DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS did, and it would be easy to credit at least some of the acclaim to Stacy Peralta’s international fame as a skateboarding icon.  But the work speaks for itself: the film about the birth of skateboard culture in Southern California and the Z-Boys skate team who started it all, is emotional nonfiction story telling at its best, yet wildly entertaining with a distinctive visual style.  It won countless awards, including Sundance, AFI and the Independent Spirit Award, rave reviews and wide theatrical success.  Sponsored by Vans, it set a new standard in successful branded content.  Stacy’s follow-up, RIDING GIANTS, about big-wave surfing and featuring Laird Hamilton among others, was the first documentary ever to be honored as the opening night premiere at Sundance.  Stacy's third Sundance film was CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA.  It explores the history and tangled relationship between the rival gangs in Los Angeles and was another ground breaking documentary.

At Nonfiction, Stacy brings his unique vision and considerable talents with real people to advertising projects from spots to short films.  His credits include the documentary style and comedic Burger King "Whopper Virgins" campaign featuring real people around the globe who had never seen or eaten a burger; a visually driven John Deere campaign of spots and short films featuring people who create art in nature; the AMP / Pepsi sponsored short film RIDING SHOTGUN featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his buddies, and spots for Budweiser, Columbia Sportswear, Vans and Lucozade, which is an energy drink out of the UK.
