My experiences growing up in rural Oklahoma, combined with the vibes of A24's "Mid90s" and "Footloose," really inspired me to make this film. I love the idea of juxtaposing rural farm life with the freedom of skating. I have direct access to the landscapes and culture here, which makes it a perfect fit for the story. They always say to "write what you know," and having lived through the challenges of fitting in, I really get this journey. It’s all about capturing those moments of searching for belonging in a place that feels so different from what you want.
