PETER BICI

WE WERE ONCE KIDS (2023)
Starring Jon Abrahams, Peter Bici, Priscilla Forsyth, Hamilton Harris, Michael Hayes and Javier Nunez. Directed by Eddie Martin.

In the early 1990s, before New York City’s mass gentrification, a group of disparate youth ventured outside their broken homes into the city’s brutal streets. United by skateboarding, they cultivated a family and built a unique lifestyle that ultimately inspired Larry Clark’s 1995 ground-breaking film, 'Kids'.

The crew became overnight commodities, thrust into the mainstream spotlight. Left adrift under the bright lights, some discovered transcendent lives and careers – while others, abandoned and unequipped to handle fame, suffered fatal consequences.
