Product Description Los Angeles, CA BWP Press -- ROLLER GURLS an insightful multi-dimensional look at this re-emerging complex Sport that has already swept across every state in the USA and found around the world . Set inside the secular underground world of today s Women s Roller Derby filmmaker Bob Bryan probes the serious gritty reality behind over three (3) dozen Derby women of varying ages and sizes, who have chosen to adopt super-hero and in some cases anti-hero personas and attitudes to play this exciting, hardhitting and incredibly difficult and fast-paced action sport. GV13 is very well done, good pacing, and an accurate depiction of one of the lesser known sports. Filmmaker Bob Bryan did an excellent job using natural sound and numerous sources to tell the story. Obviously a lot of work put in to this documentary that s a must-see for anyone involved in Roller Derby, but would also be entertaining to the non-sports fan. ---Mike Scott, KSPR Sports Director What surprised me as a new player was that Roller Derby is played very professionally and that the skill level is very high. When I tried to do certain Derby moves, it was very, very difficult to learn. - Emme Sixteen, Long Beach Roller Derby Roller Derby Gurls are tough-minded, intelligent women of all ages, psychologies, cultures and professions who have fiercely committed themselves to succeed in a grueling hands-on transformative discipline. These ROLLER GURLS morph themselves from working women during the day, into world class competitive warrior athletes by night, says the filmmaker, Bob Bryan. GV13 Areas of Focus and Exploration Junior Roller Derby (Ages 3 to 17 years old) Offensive and Defensive Strategies Women Transformation and Empowerment What is Contemporary Roller Derby?

Training and Development Business Professional by day - Roller Derby Professional by night Therapeutic aspects of Roller Derby ...AND MORE I ve never even been in a fight before; I was shocked at how quickly you get used to the idea of hitting another person. - French Connection, Long Beach Roller Derby You need to be able to take a hit, and get back up, don t look at the time, make sure you know what s going on. - Tyra Shanks, Angel City Derby Girls Insightful and revealing, GV13 is a honest straight-up, no-frills, stripped-down documentary film about contemporary women who ignore societies naive programmed gender stereotypes about women s lack of aggressiveness, physicality and strategic skill-sets. GV13 ROLLER GURL is probably not what people (non-derby) will expect, in a derby documentary. It is, however, at least from my experience, an excellent and dynamic portrayal of the girls behind the derby names. Game-Time captures the soul of derby! - Nerd Badger (Tracie Scott), Interleague Relations, E-Ville Roller Derby League, Alberta, Australia-Member of Canadian Women s Roller Derby Association In this organized and rule-based world of Roller Derby, these women lustfully battle each other, deploying skilled defensive and offensive combative strategies that utilizes no balls whatsoever! You see, there s no balls in Roller Derby. What makes Roller Derby unique, is that the offensive scoring object is a girl with a star on the side of her helmet. Essentially, the jammer is the ball and she s bowling thru all these players... We don t need a ball, we ve got a human! - GoGo Gidget, Bench Coach and Player for Angel City Derby Girls Professionally shot and sensitively directed by Bob Bryan, GV13 ROLLER GURL features the magnificent women of Angel City Derby Gir Review GV13 is very well done, good pacing, and an accurate depiction of one of the lesser known sports. Filmmaker Bob Bryan did an excellent job using natural sound and numerous sources to tell the story. Obviously allot of work was put into this documentary that s a must-see for anyone involved in Roller Derby, but would also be entertaining to the non-sports fan. --- Mike Scott, KSPR Sports DirectorBeautiful!!!! One can feel the thrill and the passion come through! The first thing which strikes one (pun intended) is that Roller Derby is Not for the faint hearted.....also proved by the interestingly bizarre pseudonyms of these warrior girls! They definitely seem to be having the time of their lives. The sheer passion of the lil babes (Long Beach Roller Derby Junior League), as well as, the transformation of young women from sedate job personnel, to the night time rabid go-getters has to be seen, to be believed. The therapeutic nature of the game is well documented through casual chit chats and the intensity of the game has the audience enthralled, holding their breath. Filmmaker Bob Bryan brings us a true tale of a genuine game of skill, sexy outfits and athletic competition. The music is complimentary to the pace and the camera work is superb. This film will sure push you to catch a live Roller Derby bout! --V. Anjali - Mumbai, IndiaGV13 ROLLER GURL: A complicated Game-Time Love Affair is probably not what people (non-derby) will expect, in a derby documentary. It is, however, at least from my experience, an excellent and dynamic portrayal of the girls behind the derby names. Game-Time captures the soul of derby! As the girls from Angel City Derby Girls and Long Beach Roller Derby explain their derby names and their motivation for joining the sport, I think that non-derby people (NDP) will start to understand what derby really means to the girls that play. For derby people (DP) I think that it shows the heart behind the successful leagues that have thrived under the care of some very dedicated women. A Complicated Game-Time Love Affair is aptly named, because the women of derby really do have a complex relationship with this punishing, but rewarding sport. I think GV13 beautifully portrays the inexplicable derby desire to strap on some skates. Indeed, as Chica-Go-Lightning (of ACDG League)explains sometimes you just gotta run into each other to make a connection. --Nerd Badger (Tracie Scott) Interleague Relations, E-Ville Roller Derby League P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Director Filmmaker Bob Bryan has directed & executive produced all thirteen (13) documentaries in the multi award-winning Graffiti Verite' Docu-Series.

GV13 is amazing!!!
GV13 is amazing!!!I have actually skated with both ACDG and LBRD and the way you highlighted each girl's passion and strength is as we say..."Amazeballs".I started out with ACDG (Angel City Derby Girls Flat track League in Los Angeles, CA) and after a year I moved to Long Beach. So inevitably the commute took it's toll on me, so I transferred to LBRD (Long Beach CA Bank Track League).It was so great to see all my sisters at ACDG whom I learned to skate with: Hitney Fears, Reno Revolver, Tiggz and Chica-Go-Lightening, Ghetto & Go-Go all were some of the best coaches. Their passion for the game is so inspirational.Now I skate with Diesel and the Terminal Island Tootsies and skating the Bank Track at the Long Beach Roller Dome has been one of the single most amazing experiences of my life.Skating with Diesel, her sister Bio-Diesel and Estro Jen I have grown by leaps and bounds as a skater and as woman.In Long Beach skating is a culture, it's a neighborhood affair and the sense of unity it brings to the community never ceases to amaze me. I truly love being a part of this revival of the Roller Gurl!!!These women became my family when I had no one and nothing to do. Roller Derby gave me a purpose and a passion to do something different. By different I mean something "good for myself" and "totally bitchin' " at the same time!! I've never felt better about who I am and what I'm doing as I do when I hear the sound my wheels make on that birch wood!!!That GV13 trailer clip with Pigeon is also unbelievable... all I remember as I slid on the floor was thinking, "Oh my god this is such an amazing hit I really hope someone is getting this on film!!!" And wouldn't you know it... I got one of the most amazing compliments from the gal that laid the hit in your beautifully portrayed documentary.Plus, once you get hit that hard, the only thing you have eyes for, is getting back on the track and getting even with your gal... in this case Pige!! hahaha!!!I'm so proud to have been a part of your film and this amazing movement that empowers women and girls to believe that they can be as strong, as sweet, as brutal and as beautiful as all derby girls are, inside and out!!Besos and Best WishesSk8 Bloomer, SkaterTerminal Island TootsiesLong Beach Roller Derby[...]

Tank tops and hot pants,silly names and few skating skills as these sexist females play at "Roller Derby".
Actors - maybe. Athletes? No! The term "Roller Derby" should have been copyrighted. This show consists of a bunch of females who enjoy playing half naked "bad girls" on roller skates. Few if any have real roller skating skills so calling this a sport is ridiculous. Of the two leagues, one is immediately eliminated. Roller Derby is skated on a banked track to allow fast skating, passing and blocking at speed. The flat track ladies put on a show of scantily clad females, wearing hot pants and tank tops, knocking each other over with few to no skating skills. Roller Derby skaters were champion professional roller skaters who wore heavily padded uniforms including tights to their ankles with padding over body parts most likely to hit the ground at speed. These girls need no protection as they can't skate fast enough. Dangerous? Typical skating rink injuries occur because these girls don't know how to roller skate.A least the second league uses a banked track. Some skill is required to skate on a banked track. Doing so properly is another thing but at least these girls have the correct basic equipment. Banked track aside, we again have the hot pants and tank tops which offer no protection if a real Roller Derby game was skated. If these girls were women with real skating skills, the silly "fierce" names and sexist outfits would not be required. Those who speak of "self esteem" are self-delusional. They don't even use their own names! Self-esteem comes from accomplishments due to skills. None of the women shown could have made it to the real Roller Derby training school let alone as a professional Roller Derby skater. None of these participants are athletes based on their skating ability, so how is this a sport? The real Roller Derby sport ended 4 decades ago. The "Roller Derby" shown in this video is a "sport" like mud wrestling is a "sport". Any main attraction consisting of women in hot pants and tank tops is a sexist show, not a sport.
