Dragonslayer
Description
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at SXSW 2011 and hailed by The New York Times as "the best movie about the life and the world of skateboarders since 'Dogtown,' Dragonslayer documents the transgressions of Josh "Skreech" Sandoval, a local skate legend from the stagnant suburbs of Fullerton, California, in the aftermath of America's economic collapse. Executive produced by Christine Vachon (Kids, Boys Don't Cry), the film takes the viewer through a golden SoCal haze of lost youth, broken homes, and abandoned swimming pools set to a soundtrack of bands from Mexican Summer and Kemado Records, including Best Coast, Bipolar Bear, Children, Dungen, Jacuzzi Boys, Little Girls and The Soft Pack, as well as Death and Thee Oh Sees.
