Skate Kitchen

The life of a shy teenage girl from Long Island, whose only friend is her skateboard, changes for good when she meets an all-girl crew with the same passion, wandering in vogue around the world of adults. A female director reads in many ways and with an incredible sense of rhythm the meaning of balancing in a male-dominated world – both in cinema and in the streets of NY – as she works closely with a real collective named Skate Kitchen; other than its photogenic posts on their Instagram page, the group is generous in giving us doses of authentic camaraderie.
