DRAGONSLAYER Young Americans

Filmed in and around abandoned houses, punk shows and empty swimming pools in Fullerton, California, DRAGONSLAYER is a gritty documentary portrait of Josh “Skreech” Sandoval, a truly unique character who operates on his own wavelength. Something of a local skate legend, Skreech is able to travel the world via lucrative skateboarding sponsorships, but when he returns home we find him living in cars and backyards. A new father, Sandoval struggles to adapt his “skate bum” lifestyle in order to raise his son with his girlfriend. In his debut film, Tristan Potterson masterfully captures the skateboarding ethos, structuring the film in a countdown format that allows the audience to get to the heart of this one-of-a-kind individual. Featuring plenty of beer, blood, vomit and spit, DRAGONSLAYER is a punk-rock love letter to youth and learning to survive ofter the decline of Western civilization.
