Leandre Sanders, Tony Hawk
Leandre Sanders was born in Venice Beach, LA, into a world of gangs and crime. The only thing that kept him out of trouble was his love of skateboarding. While his older brothers joined the family tradition of running with gangs, Leandre - dubbed Skategoat - spent most of his days and nights at Venice Beach skatepark with his younger brother Leontay. He was so talented and determined that, at the age of 11, he caught the eye of filmmaker Van Alpert. Over the next ten years, Van documented Leandre's struggle to perfect his skateboarding and to survive.

Bolt Driver
Van Alpert, Nick Corirossi
Nick Corirossi, Scott Gairdner
Bolt Driver is equal parts a tongue-in-cheek-taxi driver-re-creation-via-no-budget malick goof as it is a straight from the bloodstream quintessential meditation on contemporary life in LA for the socially alienated.
