Patrik Wallner documents a day in the life of filmer Tommy Zhao in Sweden. Over a year after relocating from Shanghai to Sweden, Tommy’s life has shifted in so many ways. A new city, new spots, and completely unforeseen challenges—at 39, he discovered that two of his major coronary arteries were over 80% blocked.
Following treatment and recovery, he made his way back onto the board. This short documentary captures Tommy catching trains to skate and film, alongside warm moments throwing a traditional crayfish party with family and friends. Summer is short, so make every day count.
Skateboarding remains an undeniable piece of who he is, and he still misses life in Shanghai. But today, his focus is anchored on the present and the people around him: "I'm just trying to live in the moment and really appreciate right now."
For years, Tommy Zhao spearheaded Vans skate video production across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region while managing the Vans Asia skate team, filming and producing an extensive catalog of iconic tours and video projects.
Patrik Wallner 呈现摄像师 Tommy Zhao 在瑞典的一天生活。从上海搬到瑞典一年多，Tommy Zhao 的生活发生了不少变化。新的城市、新的地形，也有完全没预料到的经历——39 岁时发现自己两根主要动脉堵塞超过 80%。
经历治疗和恢复后，他重新站上滑板。这部纪录片，记录了他赶火车去滑板、拍摄，与家人朋友办小龙虾派对的时光。夏天很短，那就好好过。
对他来说，滑板依然是生活的一部分，他也依然怀念上海的生活，只是现在，他更在意当下及身边的人：“努力活在当下，好好感受此刻。”
Tommy Zhao 曾长期负责 Vans 中国及亚洲滑板影像工作，并担任 Vans 亚洲滑板队伍经理，参与拍摄了大量中国及亚洲滑板巡回和影片。
