Our latest film City Mill Skate Dots and Lockdown charts the progress of our project from early 2020 to the present day, with particular attention paid to the advent of Covid 19 related restrictions in March 2020 and the profound effect that social distancing, skatepark closures and other measures had upon young people, London’s skateboard community, and a result, the City Mill Skate project too.
City Mill Skate Dots and Lockdown documents the challenges faced by CMS at the start of the Covid pandemic and explores the thinking and quick actions taken to rapidly overhaul an entire community engagement project, in order to still connect with a wide range of people in a meaningful way, during a public health crisis of unprecedented proportions.
