Brad Kremer, the director of Burton’s film department commented to Twincities.com on Tuesday’s citations of their film crew in St. Paul saying the guys did not know they were tresspassing and that they’re “not a bunch of punks.”
“We travel all over the world and film the best snowboarding, whether it be in the cities or the mountains,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve come to Minnesota for quite some years now for a couple of reasons. First, you have good snow; second, there are really good features for urban snowboarding; third, the people are very kind.” . . . Kremer wasn’t present Monday, but he said he thinks the police were doing their job. . . .”Were they trespassing? Yes,” he said of his co-workers. “Did they know? No. I think they probably should have just got a warning, but I’m not upset at the police.”
Kremer even included this video to show just how polite they are to local officers. That is some nice PR work.
