Tribeca Film Festival: Best Feature Film nominee!

10/10! “This inside look into a time in counterculture that was unique, special, and will probably never happen again is well-crafted. The story is lively, and the mixing of music, skateboarding, interviews, and footage of the past is amazing. It doesn’t matter if you’re a “hip hop head,” a skater, or a stockbroker. You’ll be engaged from beginning to end.” (Film Threat)

“a vibrant and compelling portrait of a time and place when creativity and youthful energy were off the scale…a fascinating insight into an exciting and electric time in the history of the Big Apple.” (Backseat Mafia)

“Featuring a treasure trove of archives and interviews with legendary characters from the downtown scene…brings to life the magic of this time period, and the convergence that created an urban style and visual language that would have lasting cultural effect…Paris Is Burning meets Larry Clark’s KIDS in this vibrant love letter to New York, examining race, society, fashion, and street culture.” (Hot Docs)
