Hello!

I'm a filmmaker working on an independent documentary project about prepping, as well as people's attitudes about societal instability and the potential for disaster. We're looking to speak to (and eventually film with) more people about their prepping plans, and what they see as the major threats facing today's society. I messaged the mods, and they said I could post here to see if anyone on r/preppers was interested in participating.

We're especially interested in speaking with people in cities (especially the New York City area) about their perspectives on the specific challenges and risks around city living.

If you're interested, or want to learn more, please feel free to comment or DM me! If you reach out I won't have any expectations/assumptions that you want to participate—I'd love to hear from anyone who's interested either way!

More about the project:
This is an ongoing project spanning a range of topics under the umbrella you might call "prepping". We've spoken to survival experts and instructors, people making unorthodox climate-proof living arrangements, former government workers, and several people who are not preppers but are thinking about starting to prep. Rather than portraying prepping as fringe, we're hoping to make something that shows all types of people’s feelings about a topic that can be opaque and scary to some, but that is on everyone's minds.

More about us:
This is an ongoing project intended for a new YouTube/social media channel which I'm starting with a colleague. We're working on topics that are usually covered only superficially in the media, and using them as a lens into the cultural moment.

Thank you for your time reading this. I've learned a lot on this sub over the past couple months, and I'm looking forward to the chance with connecting with some of you.

Cheers,
Erik

tldr: if you're interested in speaking casually with me about my prepping-related video project, please feel free to comment or DM me!
