WHITE ROCK SKATE

Celia has a deep, irrational attachment to her childhood skating rink. When it’s about to become another bulldozed lot in a strip mall, she makes it her life’s mission to save it. Even though she can’t find a single person who cares. White Rock Skate explores obsession with the past and the importance we place on physical spaces. Featuring music by The Polyphonic Spree.
