BATTLESCAR: Punk Was Invented By Girls

It’s 1978, New York City. You’re running through a gritty subway station in NYC when WHOOSH! – a graffiti-splattered subway train nearly takes you out. Let punk music fill your ears as your adrenaline peaks!

Welcome to Battlescar - a three-part animated VR film series of 30 minutes, where you dive into the grungy punk world of two teenage runaways: Lupe, voiced by Rosario Dawson, a Puerto-Rican American 16-year-old, and Debbie, a badass with a mysterious past. Lupe needs a home, Debbie wants someone who “gets her,” and together they will form a punk band and take on the city.

Created by Martín Allais and Nico Casavecchia, story by Nico Casavecchia and Mercedes Arturo.

Coproduced by Oculus, Arte France, Atlas V, RYOT, produced by Atlas V, Albyon, 1STAveMachine, with support from CNC, Kaleidoscope, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Cinéma and Région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.
