Her direction exudes a simple grace that transcends local issues.” – Maggie Lee\, VARIETY \n“The premise could be soapy but the film combines an appealing\, understated sweetness with a certain naivety – perhaps even a willfully turned blind eye – when it comes to the uneasy power dynamic between the two characters.”– Wendy Ide\, SCREEN DAILY \nRatna works as domestic live-in help with Ashwin\, a man from a wealthy family.

The friendships through which Camille learns how to be loved become the anguish that breaks her heart and the forgiveness that humbly heals her.” – Carly Lewis\, GLOBE AND MAIL \n“A touching ode to the rewards and challenges of female friendship…” – Justin Chang\, LOS ANGELES TIMES \n  \nCamille\, 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 kick flip.

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. \n  \n1 WIN\, 4 NOMINATIONS: \nWon – Grand Jury Award/Honourable Mention\, Outstanding U.S. Narrative Feature\, L.A.
