Link to assets The “unlock” process, hosted on www.animalchin.com, is an Instagram campaign encouraging every skater on Earth to post their classic Bones Brigade-related images with the hashtag #bonesbrigade. It’s time to blow the dust off those ‘80s shots featuring questionable skate fashion, favorite Bones Brigade graphics, maybe even that photo of you with Tony Hawk’s infamous McSqueeb haircut. After 2,000 images are posted, any visitor to the site will be able to view the film’s trailer and download THE SEARCH FOR ANIMAL CHIN absolutely free. The Bones Brigade themselves will select the best of the 2,000 images submitted and use them as artwork for a special film project this fall. “We are very excited because we're releasing Bones Brigade: An Autobiography primarily by ourselves, in a new and modern way,” says Stacy Peralta, the film’s director and mentor of the original Bones Brigade. “The only place to fully experience the film will be through our Bones Brigade web site; where myself, Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen and Tommy Guerrero will interact directly with fans. The trailer premiere, new site and free download is our way of including fans right from the start in the process of releasing the film. I hope they have fun and share it with everyone who loves skateboarding, its history and the Bones Brigade.” In addition to downloading The Search For Animal Chin for free to celebrate the film's 25th Anniversary, fans are also invited to email the filmmakers and request a screening in their town prior to the film’s official release. Fans should send their emails to paul@skateone.com by Aug 23, 2012. Here are the detailed screening request instructions, straight from Paul: “In the subject write BB screening. Include the name of your city, how many skaters are in your area, the names of your city's skateshops, what theater should screen it, why choose your city and any other useful info that will help us in our planning. The more you send us, the better. We’re also working with our distributors throughout the world and will reach out to you who live overseas for those countries if we need any assistance.” Official theatrical and DVD release dates for the film are forthcoming and will be posted soon on www.bonesbrigade.com.
