In May 2024, EDGLRD released the film Aggro Dr1ft, directed by Korine and starring Jordi Mollà and Travis Scott. The film has appeared in various venues, theaters, and subsequently in video on demand format via EDGLRD's website.[5]
In June 2024, EDGLRD sold a limited run of Demon Masks inspired by Aggro Dr1ft for $1500 each, along with special edition skate decks and clothing.[6]
The EDGLRD skateboarding team is based in Miami, led by skateboarder Sean Pablo.[7] In August 2024, Eric Koston joined EDGLRD.[8]
