Awkwardness and self- doubt is ably conveyed and really strikes a personal chord with any reader who has ever been mired in the mud of unrequited love. This YA book boasts it all: Compelling conflict, an authentic bilingual voice and a strong message of community togetherness.

The series follows five young women on journeys of self-discovery against the backdrop of New York City’s male-dominated skateboarding scene. BETTY will also be available to stream on HBO GO. As Kirt (Nina Moran), Janay (Dede Lovelace), Honeybear (Moonbear), Camille (Rachelle Vinberg), and Indigo (Ajani Russell) cross the threshold to womanhood, they unite to protect and empower their skate community, fearlessly mining the nuances of their identities and embracing their differences along the way. Independent, strong-willed, and discerning, these women are brought together by skateboarding – but their bond goes far beyond the sport.

As they navigate the pressures of adulthood, their male counterparts start to step up, step in, and become true allies, forming a united front for the greater good.

    00:00:00 Music Transition “Switchblade Comb” by Mobius VanChocStraw. A jaunty, jazzy tune reminiscent of the opening theme of a movie. Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I’m April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on. A writer, director, actor, or producer, and we talk—in depth—about one of their fave genre films. Perhaps one that’s influenced their own work in some small way. And you may already know from our last few episodes, but a reminder that we are remote recording now, and I’m recording from my bedroom. So yes, you might hear the cat. You might hear some birds outside. I live in LA, that’s what’s going on. Um, the audio is likely going to sound a little different from our studio’s, but everything else is the same. And today, the thing that is different is that the guest we have is writer-director Crystal Moselle. Hi, Crystal! 00:00:51 Crystal Guest Hi. Thanks for having me.

  • FLYING HIGH Sundance 2018 3 V 2 2 18
    90FLYING HIGH, SUNDANCE '18 By Harlan Jacobson PARK CITY, UTAH— Crystal Moselle’s Skate Kitchen is almost the perfect Sundance film. First, it is written, produced and directed by a woman—one of some 45 features at Sundance directed by women this year of the 120 spread out over nine main sections, including US and international feature and documentary competitions. Second, it’s characters and milieu are quintessentially young, mostly broke and minority born. Thirdly, it’s proudly no-budget. It’s central character, Camille, is an 18-year-old white Hispanic suburban girl who has outgrown her single-parent mom, leaves her modest Long Island home and heads to New York City (Lady Bird, anyone?) with her skateboard to find her way. Camille streams in at a Manhattan skate park, first with a pack of girl skaters, including two black girls and a working-class, white lesbian who wears her baseball cap backwards and acts like a plumber who talks like a wrench. In the overall scheme of things, Crystal doesn’t know where she fits and what glide path to take among the confusing ones littered with obstacles on her way toward her American future. Girl skateboarding is by itself a social statement in the young male skateboarding milieu, as the gender packs stay separate, until Camille cuts a sisterhood boundary and crosses over to skate with the boys. That’s a big deal. It’s both a victory and a betrayal, but it’s not where Crystal’s adolescent investigation ends. Skate Kitchen’s dialogue is streetwise, imagistic and so hot current it couldn’t be scripted.

  • Pression, Aside from Love
    Presents A film by Crystal Moselle 105 mins, USA, 2018 Language: English Official Selection: 2018 Sundance Film Festival – world premiere Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Twitter: @starpr2 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia SHORT SYNOPSIS: A teen girl gets on the ride of her life when she joins all-girl New York skateboard collective Skate Kitchen and falls for a mysterious guy in the scene. LONG SYNOPSIS: In the first narrative feature from The Wolfpack director Crystal Moselle, Camille, an introverted teenage skateboarder (newcomer Rachelle Vinberg) from Long Island, meets and befriends an all-girl, New York City-based skateboarding crew called Skate Kitchen. She falls in with the in- crowd, has a falling-out with her mother, and falls for a mysterious skateboarder guy (Jaden Smith), but a relationship with him proves to be trickier to navigate than a kickflip. Writer/director Crystal Moselle immersed herself in the lives of the skater girls and worked closely with them, resulting in the film's authenticity, which combines poetic, atmospheric filmmaking and hypnotic skating sequences. SKATE KITCHEN precisely captures the experience of women in male-dominated spaces and tells a story of a girl who learns the importance of camaraderie and self-discovery. INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR CRYSTAL MOSELLE Skate Kitchen is a real skateboarding collective, and the cast is made up of real skateboarders. How did you meet them? I was on the train and I was listening to them just chat, and they were super interesting and they had skateboards, and I asked them, “Would you guys want to do like a video project, something?” We exchanged numbers and when we met up we just started hanging out and chatting.

Since much of the country shut down in March amid the pandemic’s early stages in the United States, we’ve watched baseball consistently lag behind the rest of the major sports. As contract disputes Accessed: 7/31/2020 Hey Baseball, Get Your Act Together and Pause the Season (https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/28/sports/inside-multibillion-dollar-dispute- between-mlb-its-players/) amongst millionaires and billionaires left behind the minor leaguers and stadium staff from popular discourse, the sport looked to be racked with disunity and potentially looking to skip the 2020 season. Maybe it should have. As preseason concerns surrounding player health and safety were quelled during the summer camp or “Spring Training 2.0” in late June and early July, problems remained. Even disregarding the concerns surrounding prioritizing players for tests during a time when most Americans struggle to get tests, let alone one- or two-day turnarounds on test results, the restart process teetered on the line between morality and profiteering. Now, after less than one week of games, all of the problems of playing sports during a pandemic have reared their ugly heads.
