Jenkem Magazine recently followed skateboarders Sean Collelo and Rob Miceli to an unnamed abandoned mental institution in New York state to shoot this short film, called "The Search for BLDG.40." The building complex appears to be the Rockland Psychiatric centre, built in 1927 and also home to a building called Building 40, among other features like a theatre, a bowling alley, and pitch black tunnels. The setting is atmospheric, with the peeling paint, cracked flooring and abandoned furniture making for an incredible backdrop for some creative skating from Miceli.
