Skate God is an original story and screenplay by Alexander Garcia, a retired professional skateboarder now screenwriter and producer. This marks the first skateboarding action hero film with plans to launch a comic book series.

The story centers around a skateboarder in a Dystopian world who discovers he is a scion of a Greek god and is plunged into a battle with a clandestine society hell bent on overtaking humankind.

The Defenders, The L Word,Mad Men, and Aaron Sorkin's mega hit show for HBO The Newsroom.

The project is being produced under Alexander Garcia's Multi-Valence Productions banner alongside Impact Motion Pictures with a targeting date in late summer in New Mexico. Producers are Garcia, Stephen R. Hudis, Lindy S. Hudis, Louis Race, and Julie Michaels.
