You can’t find another building like this.
We’re basically losing history, and we’re losing craft.
We were left on the street because our multiple-apartment building completely was bombarded.
By our neighbors.
“Balkan Detours”
My name is Marco, and this is my buddy Till.
We're both filmmakers based in Leipzig, Germany.
With our project Broken Window Theory, we've been traveling the world for ten years already.
Always in search of abandoned places and hidden stories.
And always driven by curiosity.
For years, we wanted to visit Albania.
It's a wild and untamed land where time stands still.
And that's exactly what we are looking for on our journeys!
Actually, Albania is just 1,500 km from here.
And it was supposed to be a trip like any other.
But it wasn't.
We never even reached the country!
As soon as we were reaching the mountains, the car was overheating nonstop.
Yesterday, we quit this journey.
So, we tried it again a year later.
And got stranded somewhere completely different again.
Since we're stuck here for at least five days,
we decided to help out a bit here on the farm.
Being lost in the Balkans without a plan
forced us to explore these foreign countries through their people and cultures.
We stumbled upon hidden places and stunning landscapes.
We met locals who introduced us to the true spirit of their homelands.
I am the one who's driving.
We've captured all of this,
and now want to create a series unlike anything we've released before.
This is going to be more than our typical urbex content.
It’s a new chapter for us, and we want to do a few things differently.
We'll take you on adventures that we just stumbled into
because we didn't have a specific plan.
We'll tell people's stories,
and show you how life is going on in other places in the world.
We are currently planning to produce three seasons for YouTube,
with a total of 15 episodes and plenty of bonus material.
We want to break new ground with our project BWT,
and this includes crowdfunding.
This is the first time, we're calling on our community
to help us bring a new format to life!
On the one hand, we need the financial security, of course,
to be able to spend time on the production of this new series.
On the other hand, we already want you to give us feedback
on how much you're interested in such a new format.
We also want every supporter to be able to help shape the series.
More details about how you can actively create the series,
the project in general, as well as other rewards for each backer
can be found online on our crowdfunding website.
The crowdfunding is on a completely voluntary basis.
Of course, you should only support if you want to.
If don’t have a Dollar to spare, no worries.
The community got you covered!
But every pledge helps us to produce original and independent content for all of you.
And while the crowdfunding is running, we're already on our way,
trying for the third and hopefully last time to finally reach Albania.
But this time, it will work for sure,
because we have your support.
We can't wait to have you join us on this adventure!
As it turned out, it's like a big flea pandemic at the moment.
Yesterday, I counted.
- It's about 300 by now. - 300 bites!?
It's brutal. And I get dizzy just looking up at it.
They are living fossils. They are dinosaurs of our age.
These are the last ones. There won't be another generation doing this.
So, the broken car is bringing us to these places.
Well, that's a nice way of saying...
That we have a shitty car, you mean?
