Nigel Sylvester – BRICK AFTER BRICK: The Documentary

Directed by Carlyle Smith and Nigel Sylvester, and produced by GO, 91+9 & HEAT ADVISORY (with executive producers including Sylvester and Najee Tyler), the film follows the roughly two-year journey of shaping the sneaker and building the full world and rollout around it.
Chapters include celebration and vision, the importance of rest, design and development, rollout energy, community activation, musical inspiration, lookbook shoots, overcoming obstacles, “The Weight of Progress” (the striking art installation featuring a giant brick crushing a car in SoHo), giving back, a Patsy’s pop-up experience, motivation and family, and final reflections. It traces Sylvester’s path as a professional BMX athlete and creative from Queens, New York emphasizing discipline, consistency, storytelling, community (including activations, giveaways, and ties to his foundation), music influences, and the symbolism of building “brick after brick.”
