Collecting side quests.

I'm Denny. I make videos about trying new things that scare me a little. Somehow they always lead somewhere I didn't expect.

I Asked Strangers to Cook for Me in THEIR Home

I walked up to complete strangers and asked if they'd cook for me in their own home. Most people looked at me like I was a bit unhinged, but one person said yes, and the evening turned into something way more wholesome than I ever expected.

Chasing Unknown

A short-form series where I chase the stories behind things I've always been curious about.

Why side quests?

I'm a big believer in ser·en·dip·i·tynounFinding something great when you weren't even looking for it.. Some of my favourite days started with me doing something I'd normally never do, and ended somewhere I never expected, like a stranger saying yes when I was sure they'd say no.

So now I chase them intentionally. I go after experiences where I genuinely have no idea what's going to happen. Somehow that's always where the best stories come from.

You don't need a big adventure to feel that, though. Take a different way home, or say hi to someone you'd usually walk past. You'd be surprised where it leads.

Now it's your turn to find your own side quest.

Have fun out there,

Work with me

Let's make something meaningful together.

I love working with people who care about real moments, new places and good stories. If you've got an idea, or you just think we'd make something cool together, I'd love to hear from you.
