Pray For Me The Jason Jessee Film is a documentary stunt ride with legendary former skateboard pro, custom chopper builder, and full-time lowrider Jason Jessee.
Jason's family, friends (many of whom are living legends in diverse fields) and associates weave a riveting narrative on a truly fascinating, self-invented man. Jason's halting language and dozens of interviews from those who know him best and worst unveil themes of suicide, Jesus, success, failure, natural birthing, chicken make-up, esthetics, excommunication, bankruptcy, and love. The diversity and status of the interviewees in the film is staggering, as is their contribution to modern California culture - Jason's true love. The settings for most interviews is the shop, garage, studio or workspace that each of theses artisans uses, bathing them with eye candy. Juxtaposed against these are raw walking and talking scenes of Jason, enhancing the concept of dichotomy that is so rich in his life. Professional photography and page stopping quotes from dozens of skateboard and biker magazines, as well as scenes from skate films, television, and the Jessee family home movies (Super 8) round out a visually alluring story.
Some of the players featured are world champion skateboarder Christian Hosoi, Hollywood tattooer Mark Mahoney, famed custom car builder Cole Foster, and world renowned surf pioneer Christian Fletcher.
Pray For Me won Best Skate Film at the 2007 San Francisco Frozen Film Festival and Best Emerging Filmmaker at the 2007 X-Dance Film Festival. The film was made and funded entirely by David Rogerson, Steve Nemsick and Sean Dana. It has screened in Europe, Japan and across the States. The DVD has subtitles in German, English, Japanese and Portuguese and bonus footage.
