SKATEGOAT by THIS.Film Studio, part of M&C Saatchi Group, has won the highly coveted Sydney Film Festival GIO Audience Award following the film’s world premiere on Saturday 15, June.
SKATEGOAT is a gripping story with an electrifying soundtrack.

Seven years in the making SKATEGOAT is an epic documentary from THIS. Film Studio; the Australian production team behind acclaimed films BRA BOYS and FIGHTING FEAR. Through the lens of this documentary, THIS.Film Studio founders Michael Lawrence and Nicholas Cook celebrate a young boy’s dream to become a pro skateboarder, captured in all its kinetic glory by renegade graffiti artist and acclaimed music video director Van Alpert.
Michael Lawrence said: “It has been an absolute privilege to have been welcomed into Leandre’s world and be allowed to document his journey over the last seven years. The result is a wonderful story of love, ambition and resilience that transcends all borders”.
SKATEGOAT will launch in selected cinemas from August 1, 2024.
