Yo! Did

You Know?!

Yo! Did You Know?!  is a travelogue web series that follows, me, Jen Farris, a seasoned Film and TV location scout, into film-friendly communities to reveal history ‘hidden in plain sight’, the artistry of architecture and oftentimes the change makers who made those communities special. 

Let’s virtually explore together!

Meet Series Creator, Jen Farris

Hi! I’m Jen, a Georgia Peach from Atlanta USA. For thirty years, I have worked in the entrainment industry, and in that time, for more than a decade, I have worked as a professional film and television location scout. I love exploration and have seen the coolest perspectives of locations from an eagle’s eye-view to under the ground. I’m excited to finally tell the stories of many places I have traveled. Hailing from a lineage of storytellers, writers and historians, it is no surprise that I believe storytelling to be something held in high regard. Building the foundation of stories through location scouting has been invigorating.

Fun Fact

I fell in love with architecture as a teenager, and was so good, my drafting teacher carved my name out of wood as a desk name plate for my future job at an architectural firm. Who knew that after all these years in entertainment, I would find myself back inside of a world of  architecture.
