Get a Grip tells the story of TRAVIS SWANSON and his three friends who retreat regularly to Central Park. Travis is a quad-skater, illustrator, New Yorker. His
life spirals out of control due to alcohol and prescription drugs.
He later finds HOPE roller-skating in the park. She quickly becomes his salvation, leading him to get a grip on his life. However, love
sometimes means letting go of the people presently surrounding him.
Its TRAINSPOTTING meets GOOD WILL HUNTING
smoothed over with a super strong multi-cultural finish. The film employs old-school quad skating and Capoeira (brazilian martial art).
