Each 20-minute episode will examine graffiti, culture, sub-culture, undergound and above ground explorations from all over the globe, focusing on technique, style and a grittier ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at exploring the underbelly of the urban landscape. Though there are no set release dates, the team hope to get one out every few months. SilentUK describes it’s grittiness as:![]()
” A documentary is starting to take shape, or should I say project? We actually have a name now.A few things have changed, in my opinion for the better. Instead of having people wait up to a year for a full feature length movie we have taken the decision to release it in 20 minute “episodes”. Each episode will take a different stylistic and technical approach in terms of the material and focus on those in other countries such as Russia, America, Canada and Italy. The idea being that this should hopefully keep peoples interest for longer and give the final piece a more global appreciation of what Urban Exploration is. The only downside with this is we wont be able to give any dates as to when each episode will be released, although we will be aiming for one every three to four months”
