\u201cIt\u2019s been incredible to see Lizzie overcome her injuries and get to where she\u2019s at now,\u201d Hunt said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s so much fun to work with Chris Gregson\u2019s and TJ Gaskill\u2019s footage. I\u2019m really excited to see this come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was to create a film as visually exciting as Lizzie\u2019s skating, adds Gregson, noting that they drew inspiration from her love for traveling, which is represented in the various locations Onward<\/em> was filmed, as well as spending time with a close-knit group of her friends and fellow skateboarders. Featuring appearances from Mami Tezuka and Axel Cruysberghs, the film drives home Lizzie\u2019s gratitude to the skate community and her ultimate support system of friends and family.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In anticipation of the film\u2019s premiere, Lizzie shared the following about what the project has meant to her: \u201c<\/em>In the past, filming felt like I was trying to prove I was \u2018good enough\u2019. I feel like this part has been about proving that to myself, and that I am stronger than my injuries. Everyone involved in the project has been a huge motivator. We kept the crew small. My favorite thing is that everyone\u2019s passionate about what they\u2019re doing, and it\u2019s been contagious.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
