Hi all!
I am a relative newcomer to the website, well at least, I haven't posted too much, so I hope this isn't against the rules. (If so, feel free to delete the thread).
I've been Urban Exploring since I was a teenager growing up in the suburbs with nothing to do. For years I explored old buildings in the bay area and always thought it was like being in an apocalyptic movie set. I'm also a film maker in training trying to hone my craft. So I decided to shoot a pilot for a web show based on this concept and I would love if any of you wanted to check it out!
I worked about a year on it and it's something I'm really proud of pulling off. A few of the locations featured have actually been demolished since we shot so I feel like I gave some of the spots one last chance to be memorialized before being destroyed. Makes me sad...
THe pilot is 15 minutes long and every location featured in the show is/was a famous UrBex spot that you will all probably recognize from the bay area. We shot around Vallejo, Rio Vista, Alameda, and more. Filming was done mostly run-and-gun but I tried very hard to leave the locations just as I found them, and didn't disturb anything too much. I hope this doesn't come off as advertising (I make literally no money off any of this sadly). But I do indeed just really want some legit urban explorers to check it out and see what y'all think since you guys are basically my heros.
If this does well I hope to make more episodes featuring more locations. I keep exploring every day and can't wait to make more. Anyway...
