Josh “Skreech” Sandoval is living his life on the margins in Fullerton, California; a skateboard phenom with a passion for abandoned swimming pools, Josh lives on a unique wavelength all his own. Featuring gorgeous cinematography and an anarchic energy, Tristan Patterson’s DRAGONSLAYER is a beautiful movie about the adventures of a down-and-out skateboarder who just can’t seem to get ahead and probably couldn’t care less. Refusing to judge Skreech, Patterson’s film elegantly documents the ebb and flow of his days, up and down concrete walls, in and out of relationships and into the unknown.
