EganGutenberger'sportfolio

I’m Egan Gutenberger. I got interested in making videos after interning for Reckless Ben in college, where I helped with his day-to-day work. After that, I couldn’t stop thinking about making videos, and I realized the only way to keep doing it was to start making my own. I like spending a few days with interesting people and trying to understand them a little better. I try to edit at least 90 minutes a day minimum, although I wish I could work on them more.

5 days with Urban Explorers

An unlisted YouTube release that communist YouTube took down for harmful/unsafe content, now included here as part of the same run of profile-driven videos.

Subject description

Lost, Jacob Drake, Hagbarn, Grace, Eli, and Rizzen are urban explorers who enter abandoned and forgotten places. I followed the group to understand their community, their appetite for adventure, and why they are drawn to places most people avoid.
