Destroy All Girls
About the project:
Destroy All Girls is a feature film drama and road movie set against the backdrop of inline street skating in New Jersey and New York City.
Alex Martínez is stuck. Living at home with an overbearing Catholic mother while caring for her older brother Gabriel, a former competitive rollerblader who was injured in an accident, Alex numbs herself with substances and by cruising the streets of Union City, New Jersey on skates. When a group of international skaters pass through her local skate park making a video, Alex jumps on the opportunity to join them. Bouncing around NYC with nothing other than her skates and a camcorder, Alex begins to fall for the group’s enigmatic leader, Cameron, and the line between finding and losing herself starts to blur.

Process
The movie is an exciting hybrid: scripted and stylized, the cast combines trained actors with street cast skaters and was shot on a blend of 16mm film and mini DV video.
Status
Working with film editor Olivia Neergaard-Holm (The Chronology of Water, The Apprentice), we recently locked the edit. At this stage we’re making a push to raise the remainder of the financing we need to finish the film, which includes sound design, score, and our color grade. We have some exciting collaborators lined up for this next phase including sound designer Eli Cohn (Barbara Forever, Familiar Touch, Peter Hujar’s Day).
