Tim & Joe travelled to Berlin and the fascinating abandoned themepark Spreepark in the old Eastern sector of the city, for German indie outfit Sizarr’s Run Dry, to create this video that sets up an atmosphere and framework of a post-apocalyptic tale involving a strange community of wildly dressed youths.
“Spreepark was amazing,” say Tim & Joe. “It’s got an insane history all tied up with the GDR and drug smuggling. There’s definitely a documentary in that place, if the scary security guards let you in to tell it that is. The shoot was awesome fun, if pretty damn cold – although you wouldn’t know it by the kids. Their excitement seemed to make them impervious to the blizzard we had them working in.
“Huge thanks to Jannis our PM and also Matt Lambert for all their help getting the shoot off the ground. They provided us with a lovely and very talented crew who really nailed every aspect of the shoot. They also provided us with some very enjoyable post shoot venison and schnapz party. Rock and roll!”
