London on Lockdown

A short film taking viewers through London during the first COVID-19 lockdown.

A personal documentary film observing London during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The creator captures the stark contrast between the city's former vibrancy and its eerily quiet and empty state during this extraordinary period.

The film reflects on the psychological toll of isolation, particularly for extroverts, while acknowledging the tragedy many experienced. Despite the darkness of the period, the filmmaker expresses optimism about humanity's resilience, hoping society emerges bruised although wiser and more compassionate for each other.
