Overview
Created by skaters and filmmakers Erik Sandoval and Monique O'Toole, this project started in January of 2015 as a short skate edit. The desire, demand and need for a full length girls skate film became a reality as Erik and Monique met girls from all over the country whose talents deserved to be showcased. This film will change people's perception of what females are capable of and inspire a new world of possibility for the next generation of women.

The film will showcase the most progressive street skating from the top female skateboarders in the world and introduce up and coming skaters that are paving the way for the future generation of skateboarding.

ALSO FEATURING

Amanda Castillo, Chryssie Banfell, Kat Sy, Courtney Akita, Chelsea Castro, Meagan Guy, Christiana Smith, Minna Stess, Roxzi Bokolas, Jordan Serpentini, Elo Jett, Maddie Collins, Die Hu, Eleanor Bowyer, Kelly Green, Kiana Parra, Noelia Velez, Ali Stevens, Marissa Martinez, Brighton Zeuner, Poppy Starr Olsen, Bryce Wettstein, Sierra Kerr, Nicole Hause, Andrea Bethke, Izy Mutu, Shanae Collins, Hanna Zanzi, Fabiana Delfino, Mimi Knoop, Kristin Ebeling, Jordyn Barratt, and Lenna Chrisala.

Erik and Monique are committed to the progression, equality and exposure of female skateboarding and have put in their blood, sweat, and tears to make this film a reality. Currently the landscape of the skateboarding industry is bleak for women. With very few companies committing real financial support to female skateboarders, it's nearly impossible to find funding for a project like this. The result is that their hasn't been a full length female skate film in the US in over 10 years. Erik and Monique decided to take matters into their own hands. For the past 2 years, they've dedicated every free moment they've had to filming. They've been working side jobs to save money for travel costs and film equipment often times sacrificing their own livelihood for this project. With the help of the women's skateboarding community, Monique and Erik are very close to finishing this film. 

We are so close to finishing the film! But we have some huge costs left to get the film ready for digital download and DVD production. We need to pay for post production costs including music rights, sound mixing and color correction. One song alone can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Our target goal is to fundraise $10,000 to cover these costs. 

We've put together some awesome perks for you -- stuff that you can't get anywhere else! Every contribution will help us finish the film and make it available to the world and inspire the next generation of female skaters. We believe a film like this is much needed in today's world. Girls are inspired to try skateboarding and stay with it when they can see other females pushing the bar. Instagram and Youtube is great, but a full length film that you can watch over and over again is timeless and will be hugely influential.  

CHALLENGES

  • Our biggest challenge is to raise enough money to get this film ready for digital download and DVD printing. Music is an integral piece of the film and licensing awesome music is very important to us and the skaters. If we don't reach our target goal, we will defer to music libraries that are more cost effective but we all know that a song can make or break a part so we need your help to reach our goal!
