MAKE NO NOISE chronicles the long struggle of skateboarders organizing to secure a permanent skatepark in Northfield, MN. Shot in multiple formats and in collaboration with local skateboarders, the film examines Northfields’s delayed response to the needs of this group of youth, and calls into question the town’s reputation as a welcoming place in which to grow up. As young skateboarders learn to voice their needs and advocate for themselves, the film explores the meaning of belonging, our understanding of public space, and reflects on who gets to decide how this space should be used.
