Journey Inside Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone | Short Film Showcase

when we first walked into that room the
first thing that we picked up was the
sound of dripping water you can see it
first dripping from the ceiling large
puddles accumulated on the floor and
there’s a sense of fear that comes from
that because they tell you that if
there’s anything you should stay away
from do not touch the water there is
nothing that is more irritated than the
water itself
what was some going through my mind is
is how did this mask get to those rooms
it was really shocked and just to see so
many of them because he walked into the
room and we didn’t know what to expect
and you kind of you know he turn around
and
see of these masks and it was terrifying
I think that you’d expect when you
create footage like this that you want
people to feel somewhat depressed or you
want people to feel like that there’s a
place that time forgot or you even want
them to feel sorrow for the people in a
subject matter that happened in general
and that’s not what I’m aiming for I’m
actually aiming for the opposite so I
want them to find the beauty in the
apocalypse I want them to find the
beauty in the dilapidated and the
derelict I thought the place would feel
really sad to me it would feel really
eerie I didn’t want to have expectations
I just wanted to see for myself and have
the feelings once I get to the place and
once I got there yes it’s scary it’s a
little eerie but at the same time it was
very peaceful
it was very nature is starting to take
back the buildings and I didn’t feel
that I needed to be sad think bad things
have happened but if anything it just
seemed very quiet and very peaceful and
just yeah nature taken everything back
you
