Media Release below.......
The film is titled Dragonslayer, we’re screening it on Saturday 10th Sept at 2pm at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville. Here’s a little blurb about it...
Empty abandoned swimming pools, suburban streets and parking lots form the backdrop to the story of skateboarder Josh Sandoval. Drifting from suburb to suburb, Sandoval appears like the classic anti-hero part-punk and part-bohemian, avoiding the bleak certainties of everyday life in favour of the magical pleasures to be had in skateboarding, hanging out with his friends and falling in love. This world echoes that described so well by the likes of Larry Clarke and Harmony Korine. With its strangely compelling portrait of Josh, his ersatz family and friends and their itinerant lifestyle, there’s a real sense of the fleeting freedoms offered by the skateboard culture.
It would be great if you could link back to our site so that people can see the full program and buy tickets http://suff.com.au/2011/05/dragonslayer/
