Roll With It
EXT.  SANTA MONICA BEACH PARKING LOT  —  WEEKEND AFTERNOONS
Stud beach hockey player PRONGER and old-school roller-boogie queen TIARA spend weekends doin’ their thing on opposite sides of the parking lot. Her hot bod and poetic spins always attract a crowd. His behind-the-back spin-a-rama has made him a lot legend. One afternoon, Pronger shoots wide and the ball bounces into the roller boogie circle. Antoine aka TWAN, the troup’s leader trips over it and breaks his ankle – forcing him out of the upcoming competition. Everyone assumes his replacement will be CRIP, but Tiara secretly trains Pronger who feels guilty about hurting Twan. They fall in love. When Crip finds out, there’s rumor of trouble, so on the day of the competition Pronger’s hockey boys come out to protect him. The stage is further electrified when the rival team pulls off a nearly perfect performance. With everything on the line, Tiara’s troupe follows up with an epic skate – highlighted by a roller-dance version of Pronger’s behind the back move. The crowd goes wild. After the win, they donate the prize money to Crip’s youth center and they all skate happily ever after.

Hollywood Is In The Toilet
KID PORCELAIN
Toilet Whisperer
Where does your optimism come from?
Every time I discover a toilet in the wild, it tells me something about the world around us. It’s not always pretty – but by filtering the abandoned and broken through a fluffy cloud and puppy dog lens, it helps the positive nuggets of any situation naturally shine through. And from that positivity comes hope. And it’s hope that creates the optimism.
Can you describe three important qualities, skills or areas of knowledge in your work.
Discovering toilets in the wild requires the confidence to walk into scary allies, an ability to stop quick, turn around, pull over and jump out of a car with the unbridled fortitude to snap away while others look at you like a freak. In Hollywood, this translates into a sniffing out fresh opportunities and coming up with unique ways to put yourself out there to go for it.
Will enough ever be enough?
I was discouraged when Guinness World Records thought the world’s largest photographic collection of abandoned photographs in the wild (over 1200 at last count) was too weird. But I found new light when the United Nations lauded my “Perfect Life” video for its promotion of clean sanitation around the world. Now, as I continue to log miles all around LA , I still find the thrill of the hunt and desire to capture things in a unique way just as odd and joyful as when I found that first toilet on the side of Hollywood Boulevard.
What’s next for Kid Porcelain and the Toilets in the Wild Brand?
Excited about the publication of “The Adventures of Kid Porcelain” – it’s a Hollywood story of evolution and metamorphosis. Moving forward, manifesting a promotional tour of toilet-obsessed Japan, a local gallery show, a duet with Skibidi Toilet and an American Standard, Toto or Squatty Potty sponsorship.
