Brenn Lorenzo was just a kid when her dad introduced her and her twin sister to skating. Never could she have imagined that her skateboard would eventually lead her to become a professional actress. But that’s exactly what happened when Brenn and the rest of her skate crew were discovered by director Crystal Moselle. Brenn made her acting debut in the 2016 short film That One Day, and she got an even bigger opportunity in 2018 with the movie Skate Kitchen. The movie eventually spawned an HBO series called Betty that also featured Brenn and her skate crew as cast

HBO has dropped the official trailer for “Betty,” an upcoming series that will center on a group of skateboard-loving women as they navigate life in New York City after the events of “Skate Kitchen.”
“Betty” serves as a spinoff to the 2018 film “Skate Kitchen” and will focus on the group’s efforts to stand out in New York City’s male-dominated world of skateboarding. Series stars include Dede Lovelace, Moonbear, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell, and Rachelle Vinberg, who all starred in “Skate Kitchen.” The series, which consists of six half-hour episodes, will premiere on May 1.
Per HBO, the characters are summarized as: “Opinionated and loyal, Janay (Lovelace) is strong willed and stubborn in ways that both help and hurt her. Honeybear (Moonbear) is a quiet storm. Her flagrant style is a ruse; an armor she wears to hide her emotional struggles. Kirt (Moran) is a lover (to the ladies), a...

Three years in the making, Joe Cole starrer A Prayer Before Dawn will start its theatrical release this weekend. The A24 title, which debuted at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, is based on a non-fiction book written by Billy Moore, played by Cole in the feature, which opens in select cities Friday. The Wolfpack filmmaker Crystal Moselle returns with her narrative feature debut, Skate Kitchen, which premiered at Sundance where Magnolia Pictures caught the film in January. The film follows a group of young women who she met on the subway in a story that has some parallel to their real lives. And Oscilloscope is opening Madeline’s Madeline with newcomer Helena Howard along with Molly Parker and Miranda July. Also a Sundance debut, the company said it has been championed by critics, which it hopes will overcome skepticism by some exhibitors. The company said its trailer, however, has reached ‘cult’ status.

Following her breakthrough documentary The Wolfpack, director Crystal Moselle returned this year with Skate Kitchen, which uses a narrative backdrop to place us in the center of a female teen skater group–who Moselle discovered on a subway ride–all of whom exude a care-free independence as they make NYC their playground. Ahead of an August release, Magnolia Pictures have now released the first trailer for the vibrant Sundance hit.
I said in my Sundance review, “With Skate Kitchen, Moselle has crafted the rare empowering, generation-appealing film that doesn’t feel like it’s a writer decades removed talking down to the current era or someone trying too hard to capture today’s technological influence. Skating through the open city streets, there’s a freshness and energy here as we spend blissful sun-lit summer afternoons with this talented clan. If one felt American Honey was too preoccupied with depicting the...
