EXT. SKATEPARK is a refreshing, artistic, experimental short film. It utilises filmmaking techniques such as ratio, montages, music, flashbacks, photographs and symbolism to tell the story of a boy, Jordy, the day before his friend's funeral. Throughout the film we see Jordy spend time with his friends and when he's alone we see him remembering his friend who has passed. One moment in particular involving push-ups is raw and emotional.
EXT. SKATEPARK not only tells the story of Jordy and his friends, it also explores the world of others in this community. The opening consists of images that set the scene for this film, and the montage mid-film explores the world of a local skatepark.
The film is very low budget however it is not such a loss to the film as the creativity and talent of the filmmakers and cast allows this to still be a fantastic piece of independent cinema, telling an important story of friendship and loss.
