WHAT: Los Angeles Premiere of WASSUP ROCKERS with a party and skateboarding following Wassup Rockers Premiere – June 27, 2006 1 THE FILM Tuesday, June 27 – 7:30 PM Sneak Preview! Director Larry Clark In-Person! WASSUP ROCKERS, 2006, First Look Pictures, 111 min. Ten years after KIDS, director Larry Clark hits the streets of South Central Los Angeles with this film based on the real-life experiences of a group of Latino teen-agers who do not conform to the hip hop culture of their gang-infested neighborhood. They wear their clothes tight, listen to and play punk rock and ride skateboards. Constantly harassed for being different, they fight to be themselves. The film tracks their excursion into the heart of Beverly Hills to skate the famous "Nine Stairs" at Beverly Hills High. When the rockers attract the attention of some Beverly Hills girls fascinated by their style, mayhem ensues and their afternoon odyssey begins. Chased by the police and targeted by residents, the boys must find a way to escape and return to the (relative) safety of South Central. With Jonahan Velasquez, Francisco Pedrasa, Milton Velasquez, Usvaldo Panameno, Janice Dickison and Jeremy Scott. "…a thoroughly winning and unexpectedly observant lark about the antics of seven Latino skateboarding pals in South-Central Los Angeles…the film's way of balancing sheer fun, loose energy and sincere feelings makes for a completely engaging experience." – Robert Koehler, Variety. Director Larry Clark in person with Cast and Crew. Music and Skating to follow. WASSUP ROCKERS opens June 30 at the Nuart.
