Young. Wild. Loose on an open road.

An offbeat Film Documentary

WoolfWomen is an unconventional chronicle documenting a true story about 5 Gen Z girls who go on a wonderfully crazy skateboard adventure to the Pontic Mountains.

It marks a debut for filmmakers Marchella De Angelis and Jenny Schauerte.

The spotlight is on Jenny who has been struggling to get over the unexpected and sudden loss of her father. Her friends are worried about her welfare and state of mind. Her depression has led to her losing her job and as a result, she gives up her home to go live in her van whilst being on the move full time. In order to seek solace and distraction, she plans and dreams of an adventurous skateboard expedition with her friends.

Finding a friend in Jenny and identifying with her feeling of being at a loose end, Marchella decides to help make the expedition a reality. She sets a challenge for Jenny and her friends to go to Sumela, an ancient monastery built in AD386. It clings precariously to a vertical rock face with a terrifying sheer drop of 1,280 metres and is located in the Pontic mountains of Turkey.

Marchella hopes Jenny will find closure. And will the Woolf Women become the first boarders to attempt a skate from Sumela?

This is a film about courage, determination and female friendship. It also highlights the nomadic freedom and personal values sought by some of the zoomers of today. Featuring exciting downhill skateboarding, cool music and amazing landscapes – WoolfWomen is fun and honest in every way.

Film Form

The spirit and DNA of WoolfWomen is raw.

Filmed in the style of a ‘Fly on the Wall’ documentary, the aim was to deliver an honest projection of the story and people involved, with an unfiltered vibe.

The film breaks the 4th wall without intention; and takes delight in combining improvised visual content, that is synonymous of the self-filming culture of Gen Z, together with planned production film footage.
