Red Bull Presents ‘URBEX: Enter at Your Own Risk’

Towards the beginning of 2015 I was contacted by a European media production agency who asked me to appear in an upcoming documentary project about Urban Exploration. I was thrilled to be approached for this project, which concluded after Red Bull flew a filming crew to Australia, to live and film with me for close to two weeks.

Many months later and the series has premiered all over the planet via Red Bull’s media network. ‘URBEX: Enter at Your Own Risk’ is an intimate look at a group of Urban Explorers in numerous countries, as they ‘Risk life and limb to get inside, above, and around some of the most forbidden places on Earth.’

There were challenging moments throughout the filming – as a subject in the documentary, but also as a person learning and developing in life – and at times I struggled with expressing myself and being open about my feelings; it can be awkward having cameras around you.

While figures in the media and public may call us irresponsible, I hope that myself and many of the other Explorers in this series show our passion and pursuit is often in the name of self-development, art, and living a life we know can be taken away from us at any moment.

Thank you to Erik Fasolo for his time in this series. Furthermore, I am deeply thankful to everyone who has supported and encouraged my work since 2014. I appear in the series premiere Episode One, ‘UNSTOPPABLE’, and Episode Four, ‘UNLOVED’, of ‘URBEX: Enter at Your Own Risk’.
