Blood and Steel, Cedar Crest Country Club
In the middle of nowhere lived an unexpected piece of skateboarding and punk music history. "The Crest"..a skateboarding mecca of the 80's, a veritable metal monolith, tucked away on a country club in the suburbs of the nation's Capital. It was a place of pure unadulterated expressionist freedom where cutting edge skateboarding and punk rock music collided and made history. Professional skaters and legendary bands, 11 gauge steel and, of course, blood. "Blood and Steel: Cedar Crest Country Club" is the story of a one of a kind skateboarding playground that attracted skaters and bands from all over to come experience what became known simply as, "The Crest". "Blood and Steel: Cedar Crest Country Club," is a feature documentary that tells a story of East Coast punk and skateboard history; one that's untold to this day - recounted by the very pioneers from the D.C. hardcore punk music and skateboarding scene that created it. Cedar Crest was a ramp, but not just any ramp. It was a place of unadulterated freedom where cutting edge skateboarding and punk rock music collided and made history. The film takes the audience on a journey through the roots of east coast D-I-Y culture with the athletes, artists, bands and the characters that lived it. It features notables such as Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat / Fugazi), GWAR, and SCREAM as well as a long list of skateboarding legends.
