Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The cameraman-skater for the pool scenes was 1980s skateboarder Lance Mountain, a Powell Peralta rider.
Emile Hirsch already had some experience as a street skater from Southern California prior to appearing in this film.
Originally David Fincher and the other producers hired Fincher “protege” Fred Durst to direct “Dogtown,” with Fincher helping out with the second unit skateboarding scenes. As Durst’s participation came into doubt, Fincher then became the director, even going as far as having sets built, doing extensive pre-visualizations for the feature and hiring Roger Avary to rewrite the script. Fincher then left to take on another feature, paving the way for former Production Designer Catherine Hardwicke to sign on based on the success of her first feature Thirteen.
Was shipped to theaters under the code name “Extreme”.
We surf and we skate every day. We get to do whatever we want.
