GRINGA: From the Filmmakers of “Aspen Extreme”

Longtime local EJ Foerster (action director) and former Aspenite, Patrick Hasburgh (writer/director) both of Aspen Extreme fame, team up again on GRINGA.  Snowmass local Marny Eng, rounds out the filmmaking trio.

Large Marge Bickford (Jess Gabor), “Butt too big, boobs too small…generation XL”, navigates the halls of her high school and the chalked lines of its soccer field with the same sense of failure and dread. This is not a happy kid. Marge is most often alone but not necessarily lonely, just resigned. Life is passing her by and she doesn’t seem to mind…until the death of her nearly perfect Mom (Judy Greer).

Marge refuses to move to Arizona to live with her ultra-conservative grandparents and instead flees to Mexico to find her estranged dad (Steve Zahn)

…a washed-up pro soccer star who ran away to hide from his parental responsibilities, a bad marriage and the stink of failure.

But the humbled American soccer phenom has found his niche in a small village on Mexico’s central west coast. Jackson Bickford is the local handyman and beloved coach of the village’s ragtag women’s equipo de fútbol.

Until his daughter shows up.

GRINGA is a humorous heartwarming story of healing and second chances. Somehow these two misfits learn to play the game of life…both of them hoping that a family can be put back together, even if all you have are the missing pieces.

Proceeds will benefit the JFMAF/JAS Music Arts Fund; a local non-profit providing scholarships and mentorship to graduating high school seniors continuing their education that show promise in the medium of music and sound. Founded in 2014, over 40 scholarships have been awarded throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
