My friends Katsushige and Akira did a little workshop / reading about my films, work and ideas. Akira made a wonderful cake for the event and wrote a beautiful text as well.
This is wonderful. Love more hate less, let´s all work for a better planet.
Dear Pontus,
I’ve been thinking why your work is so beautiful and moving: and guess
I found one of the reasons so I’m writing to you. In Japanese, the
words “miraculous/miracle” and “trace/track” have the same
sound/pronunciations as “kiseki”. It led me to realize that your work
is not only a record of beautiful miracles but also a trip to your
past with fragments of your raw, yet-to-be defined memories which can
be seen in these fascinating inserts of your family portraits etc.
It’s such an intimate act for us audience, as if we could touch and
feel the sparks of pulse in your neuron that directly connected with
the particular scenes in your memory. It’s a fresh, eye-opening and
truly joyful experience, so I’d like to thank you for creating such a
beautiful work of art to share. Please keep doing your magic.
Finally, I must say that I’m fully agreed with your philosophy: “we
shouldn’t wait for a miracle, make it happen” – and I’d like to add a
little bit more – “because it’s a lot of fun. “
Sincerely,
Akira Kuroda

Hi everybody, Monday again I am slowly starting to feel like a human being again. A intense weekend with loads of friends and loads of alcohol. Overall a great wonderful time.
The awards was fun, I won three prices.
Best film maker, best film and the most wonderful price you can get the Johan Florell price. Which is a price that the jury hands out to somebody that has done something important for the scene and the culture over the years. I also got a HD 3D camera…Looks crazy….
Anyway, I personally would like to thank anyone out there that voted and supported my work in someway. Thanks to all the skaters that in the film and outside the film. Thanks to my family, my girl, my friends, my cat and anyone else out there that has helped me over the years. Thanks to my sponsors and so on. You get the picture, I am thankful.
Also I would like to say congratulations too all the other winners especially my fellow land men from the Skåne district. Congratulations Servant footwear for best designers, to Fernando / transition skater of the year and finally to Nils Svensson for finally becoming the photographer of the year. A few years too late….
Skateboarding will always be beautiful.
I did a bunch of drawing today and a bunch of other presents. Going to the big city tomorrow the capital of our long country. On saturday it´s time for the Swedish skateboard awards. Yeah looking forward, thanks for everybody out there that voted. Let´s hope for the best but it is no big deal. A good reason to go there see friends skate a bit and get wasted.
We talk sunday night again. Have a nice weekend planet earth.
A few of todays work.
Hopefully a good investment but I can´t leave any quarantines.
