We Are Venice

There are plenty of places on the planet that project culture and influence… But without Venice there would be no Dogtown and Z-Boys, no Jay Adams, Powel Peralta, or Bones Brigade, no Tony Hawk or X Games, and no Jim Morrison, Doors, Muscle Beach or Arnold Schwarzenegger. Today, Venice is still a tidal wave of creative output. Our new generation of artists, athletes, and innovators embody the Venice ethos of do, dare, and don’t mind what anyone else has to say about it. From old school legends to the latest up-and-comers, we are making our mark as world-class skateboarders, surfers, painters, musicians, hip-hop artists, chefs, entrepreneurs, martial arts masters, automotive innovators, dancers and more.

These are our stories.

And they will inspire you to be the best version of yourself!

WE ARE VENICE is going to inspire you to manifest the life you want. With a positive attitude and good intention you can make your dreams become true. The universe is conspiring for us to succeed and the most important thing in life is how profound is your journey!

WE ARE VENICE was created by Wagner Lima and We Are Venice Productions (@weareveniceprod) in collaboration with production company Undivided Attention. With deep ties in this tight-knit community, Wagner Lima access to the stories no one else can get. True to the DIY ethos of Venice, we've built this project with love, sweat, respect, and tremendous support from multiple generations of Venice's legends and locals.

WE ARE VENICE’S core content is a series of premium documentary profile pieces on Venice’s most important and influential individuals. From he new generation of innovators to the originals of the the Dogtown era, these are the people who make Venice... Venice. And the potential audience for these stories includes millions worldwide.
