A delightfully fun and endearing underdog sports story. The likes of Dr. Spankenstein, Maulin\u2019 Brando and Abe Drinikin\u2019 want nothing more than to be taken seriously by their roller girl heroes. In their quest for respect they face jeering crowds, serious injury and derision from their idols.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Offering a behind the scenes look into the intense subculture that is modern day roller derby\u00a0<\/span>This Is How I Roll<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>also poses some important questions. What makes a sport legitimate? Who owns it? Who gets to play? And does the athlete\u2019s gender matter when we talk about the answers?<\/p>\n Starting in 2008 when there were only a handful of men\u2019s teams in the country, the filmmakers chart the rocky journey of men\u2019s roller derby across the northeast and eventually, the whole country. The fans don\u2019t know if they want them there; some members of women\u2019s derby are sure they don\u2019t. Alternately hilarious and thought provoking, the film follows the men as they fight to move from being seen as a joke to being taken seriously, without ever taking themselves too seriously.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#d6d6d6″ divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”75%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Short Synopsis<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the story of the rocky beginnings of men\u2019s roller derby. The fans don\u2019t know if they want them there. Some members of women\u2019s derby are sure they don\u2019t. Chronicling the fringe of a fringe sport, this alternately funny and thought provoking film follows the rise, occasional ridicule and good spirited rivalries of men on roller skates.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patrick Bateman<\/strong>, New York Shock Exchange<\/p>\n Maulin\u2019 Brando<\/strong>, New York Shock Exchange<\/span><\/p>\n Val Capone<\/strong>, Windy City Rollers<\/p>\n Abe Drinkin<\/strong>\u2019, New York Shock Exchange<\/p>\n Suzy Hotrod<\/strong>, Gotham Girls Roller Derby<\/p>\n Davy Jones<\/strong>, Pioneer Valley Roller Derby<\/p>\n Jonathan R<\/strong>,\u00a0New York Shock Exchange<\/p>\n Rollin\u2019 Redshirt<\/strong>,\u00a0Pioneer Valley Roller Derby<\/p>\n Dr. Spankenstein<\/strong>,\u00a0Pioneer Valley Roller Derby<\/p>\n Bonnie Thunders<\/strong>, Gotham Girls Roller Derby<\/p>\n Miss Trial<\/strong>, MRDA and WFTDA Referee\u00a0<\/p>\n WITH<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Hero” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ background_image=”https:\/\/katvecchio.com\/THIRTemp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/TIHIR2.jpeg” custom_padding=”0px|0px|558px|0px||” animation_style=”zoom” animation_intensity_zoom=”4%”][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Service Section” _builder_version=”3.22″ min_height=”677px” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”73px||110px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_divider color=”#d6d6d6″ divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”75%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.1″ _module_preset=”default”] Story A delightfully fun and endearing underdog sports story.
