"There's a bunch of empty pools and a bunch of f*cked up houses. That's why I'm here. I'm here to skate. But besides skating, I want to go see waterfalls, I want to go see rockslides, I want to go fishing, I want to go in a canoe, I want to get lost in the woods.. But there's no woods here, but we'll find something."
Killer Films presents the transmissions of a lost kid, falling in love, in the suburbs of Fullerton, California. Featuring skateboarding, the usual drugs, and stray glimpses of unusual beauty. Dragonslayer won the Jury and Best Cinematography awards SXSW Festival 2011.
