Dragonslayer movie scene

Josh "Skreech" Sandoval in Dragonslayer.

The 2011 documentary Dragonslayer chronicles the transgressions of Josh “Skreech” Sandoval, a local skate legend from the stagnant suburbs of Fullerton, California, in the aftermath of America’s economic collapse.

Directed by Tristan Patterson, the film takes a look at Skreech’s life—one that the filmmaker surmises could be potentially bleak but that Skreech could  tackle and overcome. The action—much of which finds Skreech on his skateboard and getting high—is set to a soundtrack of bands from Mexican Summer and Kemado Records – including Best Coast, Bipolar Bear, Children, Dungen, Jacuzzi Boys, Little Girls and The Soft Pack.

The winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at SXSW Film Festival, Dragonslayer was executive produced by Christine Vachon (Boys Don’t Cry, Velvet Goldmine), and acclaimed by The New York Times as “the best movie about the life and world of skateboarders since Dogtown,”

Dragonslayer had a limited run in New York theaters in November, 2011.

No bonus features have been announced for the DVD.
