Synopsis
Somewhere in the 90s...
Featuring a cast of new and upcoming adult talent, Grinders is a 90s inspired coming-of-age movie filmed in the no-rules skateboard aesthetic of that era. Lucky is a 20+ yr old skateboarder at a crossroads in his life. As he wanders the city, landing tricks and running into old friends and new enemies, we are treated to glimpses of the sex lives of those around him. With Lucky slowly coming out of his shell, he gets back in touch with his longtime crush Morgan. But soon after, he's faced with the toughest choice of his life. Will Lucky make the right decision?
Inspired by classic 90's skateboard movies and shot in a documentary fashion, this new project from AVN Director of the Year 2022 Ricky Greenwood is a love letter to the films of yesterday and to an era that holds a special place in the heart of its director.
