“Today’s Roller Derby is strategic, smart, real and it hurts! This ain’t your momma’s Roller Derby!”

GV13 ROLLER GURL: A Complicated ‘Game-Time’ Love Affair
A new documentary film from multi award-winning filmmaker Bob Bryan

Los Angeles, CA BWP Press -- Set inside the secular underground world of today’s Women’s Roller Derby, in GV13 filmmaker Bob Bryan probes the gritty reality behind over three (3) dozen Derby women who have chosen to adopt super-hero and in some cases anti-hero personas and attitudes to play this exciting, hard-hitting and incredibly difficult and fast-paced action sport.

“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.
“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 documentary film about women who ignore societies naive gender stereotypes about women’s lack of aggressiveness and physicality. In this 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 women of “Angel City Derby Girls” (Flat Track league) and “Long Beach Roller Derby” (Bank Track League).

Relentless action, perceptive and thoughtful interviews. GV13 is hugely intense and entertaining... This is an original production!!

“In my mind and experience, endurance is just the ability to deal with pain.” - Chica-Go-Lightning,
Angel City Derby Girls
