11 - CMJFlicks

CMJFlicks is one of the most dynamic and interesting people I've had a chance to talk to since starting this project. We discuss urban exploration, homelessness and deinstitutionalization, mental healthcare and policy in the US, connections between epilepsy and psychiatric illness, as well as benzodiazepines and addiction At just 26 he has managed to see and experience more than many do in their whole lives. He is an explorer, a film maker, and documentarian. He brings to life spaces and places that most of us will never have a chance to visit. He describes the dangers and goals of urban exploration; a hobby that involves finding, entering, and documenting abandoned and crumbling spaces, climbing to the tops of towers and spires, and uncovering aspects of civilization and society that often raise more questions than they answer. As a Pittsburgher he has access to the vast treasures of the rust belt. From Detroit to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, the warning signs of the failures of capitalism, globalism, and the rise of technology are all around us.
