Red is a driven young runaway who returns to her hometown to track down her wayward father. Inhabiting the fringes of Modesto, California in the toxic haze of the 1980’s, Warm Blood is a politically subversive, searing collage of sound, narrative, documentary and trash B movie meta narratives, hand stitched by filmmaker Rick Charnoski in his debut feature. (Rick Charnoski, USA, 2022, 86 min.)

The Body Corporate

The Body Corporate tells a story about skateboarding being an act of defiance, a path away from the status quo & spoon fed commercialism while also telling the story of what drew these skaters (The Anti-Hero team) to skateboarding & why it sticks so strongly.
