SHORT SYNOPSIS:

A teen girl gets on the ride of her life when she joins all-girl New York skateboard collective Skate

Kitchen and falls for a mysterious guy in the scene.

LONG SYNOPSIS:

In the first narrative feature from The Wolfpack director Crystal Moselle, Camille, an introverted

teenage skateboarder (newcomer Rachelle Vinberg) from Long Island, meets and befriends an

all-girl, New York City-based skateboarding crew called Skate Kitchen. She falls in with the in-

crowd, has a falling-out with her mother, and falls for a mysterious skateboarder guy (Jaden

Smith), but a relationship with him proves to be trickier to navigate than a kickflip.

Writer/director Crystal Moselle immersed herself in the lives of the skater girls and worked closely

with them, resulting in the film's authenticity, which combines poetic, atmospheric filmmaking

and hypnotic skating sequences. SKATE KITCHEN precisely captures the experience of women in

male-dominated spaces and tells a story of a girl who learns the importance of camaraderie

and self-discovery.

INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR CRYSTAL MOSELLE

Skate Kitchen is a real skateboarding collective, and the cast is made up of real skateboarders.

How did you meet them?

I was on the train and I was listening to them just chat, and they were super interesting and they

had skateboards, and I asked them, “Would you guys want to do like a video project,

something?” We exchanged numbers and when we met up we just started hanging out and

chatting. I just was super inspired by them. I didn’t really know much about being a female

skater and how much intimidation they go through. I gave them the opportunity to do this short

film with Miu Miu (That One Day) and I pitched them to do the short film. That went to the Venice

Film Festival. From there it started to get a lot of attention and gain a lot of traction.

Why did you decide to make a narrative film instead of a documentary about them?

I was originally going to do a feature documentary film, but after doing the short, and hanging

out with Kim Yutani, who is one of the programmers at Sundance, she was just like, “Why don’t

you do a feature version of this?” I was like, “Yeah, you’re so right.” I figured out a writer to work

with. That January, we didn’t have a script or anything. We kind of just had a summary of what

we wanted it to be. We went to Sundance and just started having meetings and financiers, and

got the budget.

I was doing these workshops with the girls and we eventually created a script, and that was

maybe like a month before shooting. But before that, we would do these kind of improv classes

where we would create these different scenes and ideas. I got super inspired to take notes from

all those classes just talking with them and watching them and most of the things that are in the

film actually happened in real life. But we wrote them into a script and they actually reenacted

it; that being said, this film wasn’t improv. It wasn’t vérité, it was scripted. And, I think that’s an

important part about the film because a lot of people think that it’s just more like me just sitting

back and watching, and it actually isn’t. The girls are incredible actresses, and they’ve taken on

these personas that are inspired by their own selves, but it’s actually like something that we’ve

worked together for six months.

How much of the main story was based on something that happened in their real life?

That was a contrived storyline. We made that up. Everything with Jaden Smith is made up. The

girls are all friends and they all hang out together. The boys are all friends. Everybody in the film is

friends with each other.

Who did you collaborate with on the script?

There was a certain point in time where we had to shift the story and simplify it a lot more and

Aslihan Unaldi came in and worked on it every day for like three months. We completely re-

shifted the whole thing. She was really my collaborator on this, but it was all my ideas, and I

wrote a lot of the script. I've never written a script before and we had to make this happen so

quickly, because we had to shoot this film before these girls grew up, because right now they're

already too old for the film.

How did Jaden Smith get involved with this project?

One day he hit Rachelle Vinberg up on Instagram! He just thought she was cool because she

skateboards and he skateboards and we were like, “Oh, he should be in the movie.” I randomly

know his agent, so I was just like, “I have this film idea that Jaden might be into,” so his agent got

me a meeting completely separate from Rachelle. And it was months after that. And then I

showed him the short film and he was like, “Oh I know that girl.” We wanted his character to

really authentically lead into the subculture of New York City skateboarding.

How much time did you spend with the girls and how did you get involved in their world?

I completely immersed myself into their world for a year. The girls lived with me at my house for

quite some time. Rachelle Vinberg lived with me for the entire summer. I got to know the boys

through the girls. We made Jaden come and hang out too. I put together a group of boys just to

be friends with him. Now they’re all friends and he comes into town and doesn’t call me, he calls

them now. They ride for his skate brand, it’s pretty cool. There was this kid Alex, he was like the

honorary Skate Kitchen boy. He’s in the film as Charlie. We ended up hiring him as a cultural

interpreter, because he would literally sit and help Jaden with his skater accent. They all have

the craziest slang that nobody knows besides them. We wanted it to feel authentic to their world

and the way they talk and stuff.

How long did you shoot for?

We shot for 37 days in the summer. It was mainly a rigorous 12-hour day, five days a week.

Sometimes six days a week.

What were the biggest challenges of making your first narrative feature?

The script was like 110 pages and our rough cut was four hours and forty-five minutes. So, I think

that next time I would have a better gauge of what parts of the story are necessary and not

necessary. We had to cut a lot out and change it a lot in the edit, which is something that I’m

used to as a documentary filmmaker, so it was fine that it happened. I should have listened to

my instinct. I didn’t need to shoot 10 endings to this film.

Even though your last feature was a documentary, Skate Kitchen feels very similar to The

Wolfpack in a lot of ways. How would you describe your interests in filmmaking?

First I just get attracted to the characters. That’s usually what draws me in first. And then, figuring

out the story. I like coming-of-age stories and young people that are incredibly passionate. I like

people that are a little outside of society, a little different. I like strong women flipping the switch.

I like breaking rules in a way that isn’t hurting anybody.

Were you looking for a story for your short film when you ran into the girls?

No, I don’t look for stories. I’ve never looked for stories, they just come to me. They approach me

afterwards.

I’m guessing the skate park is where the girls actually hang out. What about their bedrooms and

other locations?

Yeah, all the locations are the actual places that they skateboard. All the interiors were

production designed.

How would you describe the group Skate Kitchen to the uninitiated?

It’s a group of skateboarders in New York City that empowers people to skateboard. It’s

especially inspiring for women because it’s pretty intimidating to get out in the park and actually

learn. Because when you’re learning you fall a lot, and it’s inspiring to see these girls that just

don’t give a fuck and do their own thing. Also, they’re not your traditional skateboarder chicks,

not all of them are tomboys. They’re very diverse, which I think is very cool. They’re really just

super open-minded. They’re not mean girls at all, which to me is probably the coolest thing

about them. I feel like we’ve kind of hit a new stage with women where women are here to

support each other rather than compete with each other. There’s really not a competitive

aspect of their world. I mean, there is, because of the skateboarding, and every sport is to some

extent. But, they’re there to support each other.

Out of the group of girls, how did you decide to make Rachelle Vinberg the main character,

Camille?

She and I bonded over her story from the short film. But also she’s in film school, she’s interested

in the process of filmmaking and we’ve been collaborating and bonding over the story. And

also they helped me keep the entire thing authentic. I was constantly asking their opinions on

things. They were always on set and giving me notes.

Could you talk about the importance of social media in your film and how that mirrors what they

do in real life?

Yeah, social media is something that’s really big in their lives, and that’s how they communicate

with the skate world, and how they communicate with each other. It’s a big part of bringing

their world together so we definitely had to involve that. Nina Moran and Rachelle actually met

from YouTube. They were commenting on each other’s clips and now that they have Skate

Kitchen, which has a ton of followers. So they build their online presence, and they have a really

huge community of people that follow them and everything they do. So, it was an important

aspect of the film to include the world of Instagram.

CAST AND CREW BIOS

RACHELLE VINBERG / Camille

Rachelle is a founding member of “The Skate Kitchen” – an all-female skate crew. She has

previously modeled for Free People, Adidas, and Volcom.

She will next star in Crystal Moselle’s SKATE KITCHEN which premieres at Sundance January 21st.

opposite his father, Jaden won an MTV Movie Award in 2007 for "Breakthrough Performance" as

well as universal acclaim for his nuanced and heartwarming performance. Other film credits

include The Day the Earth Stood Still, the box office hit The Karate Kid, and After Earth.

In music, Jaden dropped his latest album "Cool Tapes Vol. 2" in November 2014 exclusively on his

new app Jaden Experience. The app is the first to be released in a new platform that allows

artists to distribute their music directly to their fans creating an album-like experience through a

dedicated platform. His first mixtape, "The Cool Café," was released in 2012. Jaden also hosts his

own program on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio show. Jaden's greatest endeavor has been starting

his own clothing/lifestyle brand called MSFTSrep. The clothes range from hoodies and T-shirts to

trousers and vests.

harmful greenhouse gas emissions by up to 74% when compared to traditional PET plastic water

bottles. Additionally, the water is sourced in Glens Falls in Upstate New York where a unique

trade partnership with the city is revitalizing the local community, restoring industry thereby

providing jobs and protecting the watershed.

Jaden is a Co-founder of recently started JUST Impact - a 501c3 focused on galvanizing direly

needed early-stage funding for cleantech startups mitigating climate change. The charity works

closely with and was a founding grantor of The Prime Coalition - a similar non-profit founded by

JUST Impact and The Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation made a recent Program Related

Investment in Anfiro - a radically new reverse osmosis filtration membrane startup coming out of

a MIT (Jaime Mateus). This breakthrough technology will significantly reduce energy load and

cost in existing reverse osmosis technology making it more affordable for new groups to gain

access to potable water.
