SAVE DIY - Vol. 1 | Skate Sonr

A new short documentary by April Jones @DreamEvilPictures

This documentary series is a timely response dedicated to grassroots activism and policy discourse.

This video (vol.1) is a teaser for a lengthier version highlighting five DIY communities across three countries: Finland, Germany and Spain: Suvilahti DIY @suvilahtidiy4475 2erDIY @2erskateboarding , NorDIY @betonfreude21, Dowgy Allee DIY @dowgyallee, and La Casita DIY @lacasitad.i.y

April Jones is an international award-winning filmmaker and lifelong skateboarder. Her body of work spans nearly two decades covering heavy metal and punk rock music, and DIY skateboarding communities.

Her newest feature documentary, Concrete Law, chronicles the seven-year bureaucratic battle to legalize the iconic Channel Street Skatepark (streaming distribution 2026).

The fight to save Channel Street became the spark for a broader mission—Save DIY, a movement that April now carries forward through visual storytelling, advocacy, and film.

Through Save DIY, she helps to amplify the issues surrounding skateboarding and urban equity. She captures these stories as she works to help protect and sustain community-built skateparks, while addressing what she considers one of skateboarding’s most urgent crises: the loss of community third spaces.

Public screenings are on Saturday, 18.10 at @connect.skaturbanism.festival in Bordeaux, France & also @tiivistamoshorts in Helsinki, Finland on 12.10.
