series Skateboarding Is Not a Crime
Directed by Tristan Patterson | 2011
"Patterson's one-of-a-kind hybrid captures a socio-historical moment with the kind of charged authenticity that only comes from a willingness to embrace contradictions: It's discursive and hypnotic, laconic and urgent."
—The Village Voice
An affecting portrait of affable and aimless 20-something Josh “Skreech” Sandoval, drifting through life on the decaying fringes of the northern California suburbs. A pro skateboarder and estranged father with little to his name, Josh’s world is one of humdrum contentment, filled with dilapidated swimming-pools-turned-skate parks, road trips to nowhere with his girlfriend, and the occasional booze and bowl. Images of stagnant suburbia and liminal spaces, baked in the summer sun, lend a palpable sense of inertia to this touching snapshot of disaffected youth creating meaning and happiness amidst uncertainty.
