Award-winning doc to open theatrically in Los Angeles in May.
Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights from Doc & Film International to the Berlin Panorama premiere and Skid Row documentary Game Girls.
Alina Skrzeszewska’s film chronicles Teri and her girlfriend Tiahna as they navigate their relationship through the chaotic world of Los Angeles’ homeless sub-culture.
While Tiahna seems comfortable being a player in the underground economy that surrounds them, Teri is driven by a powerful desire to get out. Along with other women from the neighbourhood, they attend a weekly expressive arts workshop where they dream, and seek reflection and healing.
