This was our city’s first PARK(ing) Day.

The RedCat team is very excited to present PARK(ing) Day London: A mini documentary.

On September 17th, we had to opportunity to film this city’s first PARK(ing) Day, an event that encourages reclaiming the urban space of the city through the use of parking spaces. PARK(ing) Day is an annual, one-day, global event where artists, activists and citizens collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spots to help promote creativity, civic engagement, critical thinking, unscripted social interactions, generosity and play.

We were very fortunate to work with John Diemer doing location sound, and would like to extend our thanks to him.

The film was screened last night, before the great documentary Roadsworth as part of Car Free Sunday downtown London.

Our thanks to Kevin Van Lierop for allowing us to take part in an amazing day.

“My Charlotte was my personal favourite film of the night, as I realized I never felt manipulated as an audience member. It was as if I was looking onto the director’s ideas without having them forced upon me. I felt able to let the plot affect me, without feeling as though anyone else could possibly be planning the emotional attachment I experienced. The overall flow of this piece built up so wholly, and was accompanied by such terrific acting, that the film’s scheme just made sense to me. The second line I scribbled down as soon as I heard it this evening went something like, “I can’t play her last note, or else I’ll forget her… Like all the rest.” Let me tell you, if this film were shown to a group of teenage girls, you’d get squeals. Fortunately, I am not a squealer. I am however, the type to rave about eloquent lines such as this one, and take the time to scribble it all over notebooks until I feel someone has connected with it as I did. In this case, I believe the director simply found a more effective means in which to share their idea. To this director I would just like to say, “I get it.”
