‘Dropping In’: A Skateboarding Documentary
Check out our new documentary, made by BFI Film Academy students 2016/17, on finding yourself…in a skate park.
A young man is searching for himself and finds what he needs at the skate park…. In this emotional documentary, Nathan talks about how skateboarding stopped him getting in trouble, helped him with confidence, and drop in rather than drop out. As he tailsides across Thornbury and kick flips around Bristol, this documentary, filled with tricks, stunts and grinds, asks who are we and what can we push ourselves to do.
