Dragonslayer (2011)

Plot

Dragonslayer explores the life of a wayward skate punk who finds love amid the stagnant suburbs of Fullerton, California, in the wake of America’s economic downturn. Through a hazy lens of sun-soaked days filled with dilapidated homes, empty swimming pools, and fleeting moments of unexpected beauty, it follows Josh 'Skreech' Sandoval, a local skate icon and new dad, as he faces the impending realities of adulthood. Accompanied by a captivating soundtrack from indie labels like Mexican Summer and Kemado Records—including artists like Best Coast and Thee Oh Sees—Dragonslayer serves as a punk-rock tribute to youth, love, and resilience in a crumbling society.
