Crossover, cult en experiment, daar draait hem om in Rialto Laat, dat elke vrijdagavond vanaf 23.00 uur in Rialto plaatsvindt. Vrijdag 13 juli is er Chuck Mitsui's skatefilm It's 8:08 te zien. Mitsui, zelf fanatiek skater én eigenaar van een keten skateshops op het zonnige Hawaii, is die avond aanwezig. Speciaal voor deze voorstelling zal hij onder het publiek één van zijn skateboards verloten. Na afloop kun je in Rialto's bar dansen op onvervalste skatemuziek.

It's 8:08 volgt de Hawaiaanse skateboarder Sean Reilly en zijn vrienden, die op hun skateboards de wereld en de internationale skatescene verkennen. Van het eiland Oahu (Hawaii), reizen ze naar San Diego, over de grens naar Mexico en dan naar Japan. Ondanks alle plekken die de jongens op hun skateboards bezoeken, blijkt er niets boven thuis te gaan. Zeker niet als thuis het paradijselijke Hawaii is. It's 8:08 toont meer dan alleen actie en tricks. In een geheel eigen visuele stijl wordt de wereld van skateboarding getoond, en die van de mensen erachter.

Je vindt Rialto op de Ceintuurbaan 338 in Amsterdam, tussen de Ferdinand Bolstraat en het Sarphatipark. Tram 3, 12 en 25 en nachtbus 71 stoppen er voor de deur (halte 2e Van der Helststraat).

Oahu, Hawaii. Over the mountains, hidden from the touristic beaches of Waikiki, Ralsto (19), a local skateboarder, wakes up in the morning to his cheerleading girlfriend Alea (15) puking and telling him she is pregnant. Alea has had an abortion before and is hesitant to go through it again. Scared of ending up like their parents they agree that the abortion is the best plan. Alea leaves for school and Ralsto embarks on his journey to raise the funds.
Ralsto’s plan to ask his boss for an advance gets foiled when he gets himself fired for his slacker mentality. With insufficient funds he leaves with his friend to the beach. Meanwhile, Alea is comforted at school by her best friend Leilani (16), a manipulative teen mom, who urges her to keeping the baby. Confused, Alea looks to Ralsto for support but learn that he has gotten fired. This prompts her to track him down and tells Ralsto that getting fired might be a sign to keep the baby.
Ralsto realizes the only way he will be able to keep from becoming a father is to get the money together. Trusting in the advice of his best friend Nalu (20), he takes a journey into the dark world of cockfights and drug deals that strip him of his funds. With no money and no job Ralsto has to face Alea, who is waiting for him with the full knowledge of his penny less situation at the house party of the year. Fueled by alcohol and coke, Alea splits with Ralsto telling him that she needs to find a real man who can take care of her. In a fit of rage Ralsto tries to leave the party only to get caught in the middle of fight instigated by Nalu. Ralsto releases his anger, turning his fists on Nalu before skating into the night to contemplate his future. Alea wakes up alone to the sound of her mother having sex in the next room. She runs to the bathroom to escape only to find out that her period has started.
