Uchujin Visits A Nuclear Bunker

 Nuclear Bunker ©uchujin-adrianstorey2016-12-07

It’s not often you get asked if you wanna go on a tour of a U.S. Air force underground Nuclear Bunker on a Wednesday morning, but when you do, you drop everything and say “Hell yes!”

Weird fun…

Well…We’re here again, the end of another rotation around the sun.

This time it’s about Bowler Motorsport, a company that builds custom rally cars based on Land Rover Defenders.

“Not With A Bang” An Uchujin Films Short

I am proud to present my latest short film “Not With A Bang” (Title stolen from T.S.Elliot because I have delusions of grandeur) the result of months of work and what amounts to a final parting shot to Japan.
I advise watching it full screen on a reasonable sized monitor or it won’t make a lot of sense and you’ll miss most of it.
