Many people might recognise Where The Wild Things Are series of decks from Girl Skateboard, but did you know WTWTA is also actually an upcoming 2009 film adaptation of the Maurice Sendak 1963 children book of the same name?The movie is directed by Spike Jonze, an American director of music videos and commercials, and an Academy Award-nominated director and producer in film and television, most notably in the 1999 film Being John Malkovich. He is also credited as a co-creator of MTV's Jackass.
Besides being a film producer/director, he is also the part-owner of Girl Skateboard.
