JB. Magazine Blog : Introducing Jo Peters - French filmer and photographer

Epicly Centered
French filmer and photographer Jo Peters lives in his own visual universe, telling stories from the Berlin backyards.

It's a classic story. Jonathan Peters got his first camera at the age of 17 from his dad. He shot photos and filmed his friends while skating or at parties, went on to become a cutter. But cutting all day wasn't for him, so he went back to filming. After producing 'Objectif Lune' he recently finished 'A Journey To The Center Of The Earth'. Both videos are his way of true skateboard storytelling, stories of the Berlin backyards with its unique protagonists. Instead of the usual continous run of tricks, the focus is on the spirit.
Jonathan mostly films and cuts the material himself. He loves going out with people he knows and people he admires, always on the lookout for a special spot and that one special moment. Essential to him is the mixture of people and personalities: friends who inspire him, dudes he likes to watch skateboarding. It's all about a shared experience.

Jonathan Peters, originally from Strasbourg, currently living and working in Berlin, has created the extraordinary skate video "A Journey To The Center Of The Earth", capturing skate city Berlin and the core of its lively scene.
