Also, the movie Skateland has been released on Sundance and there here is a new still and the official movie poster. Enjoy!

“Skateland” tells the story of Ritchie Wheeler, who is entering a transitional phase of his adolescence, trying to work out the changes going on in his home life and all around him. Set to the backdrop of the end of an era in the 1980s, the film brings us back to the time before modern technology became the focal point, and a simple skating rink could be a huge part of our lives. In this clip, Michelle, played by Ashley Greene (”Twilight”) shares a moment with Ritchie (Shiloh Fernandez) as he struggles with these changes.

It’s 1983, and Skateland, the roller rink and local hangout of a small town, is becoming a fading memory of an earlier time, when disco and roller-skating were king. The party scene is getting stale, and 19-year-old Ritchie’s romantic life is as cloudy as his future. He struggles to make sense of it all, and decisions do not come easily to the carefree young man. When tragedy strikes his friends and family, Ritchie must face the music—and make the biggest decision of his life.

Without the benefit of a studio budget or name casting, Anthony Burns and Brandon Freeman capture the ’80s in startling detail. The result: a cinematic scrapbook of a time and place, a visceral visual, and an aural experience that reclaims the decade for those of us lucky enough to have lived through it once. While the atmosphere is time specific, the themes of the joys and pains of growing up are universal.
