Michael Bay’s First Documentary Was So Dangerous To Shoot He Wasn’t Allowed On Set

A few exhausted directors like Michael Bay. It is a film director who can convert any kind of scene into a movement scene and often play quiet moments like filming the height of the movie. But while Bay has formulated many amazing scenes of the movement in the past, his latest movie may be his most impressive work so far. It was also very dangerous, to the point that the Gulf was not legally able to be anywhere near the group while the cameras were rolling.

When you hear the phrase “Documentary Michael Bay”, many ideas come to mind. However, when watching “We Stor”, you realize it, naturallyThe dilapidated Park, which performs the strange exciting actions on the ordinary, will be the topic that caught the attention of Bay.

There was only one small problem. As a member of the Director Syndicate in America, Bay was legally binding to ensure that any group working on it is free of risk, and safely as possible in humanity. Of course, a film about people jumping through the roofs of homes hundreds of feet above the ground is nothing but risk -free.

“I said, I don’t care to know anything you are doing. I don’t agree with it. What you do is illegal. This is completely wrong,” Bay explained during a question and answer after the first presentation of “We Storror” in SXSW. “I’m not doing anything on this. I’m not a producer. I’m not a director, so forget my name, call me later, and I will look at the shots and see if you are licensing it.”

Pay and his legal team spent actual years knowing how to make “STOR” in a way that does not put the director in a legal danger in the event of an error (and a lot). The key is that it will not be allowed to appoint or participate in photography at all. “I cannot participate in any form, shape or shape,” Bey note in a question and answer. He could not even know the footage until he was shot, and everyone was alive and in good health – to the point that a big accident occurred early during filming was complete news to the Gulf when he discovered that much after that.

“We Stor” tells the story of Stor, a Parkour team on YouTube, consisting of a group of Parkour artists from London (two groups of brothers and three colleagues). The team had previously worked with Bay on Barkour’s scenes in “6 Underground”, a movie that contains one of the worst stickers in all ages.

You also expected based on the concept, Pay’s participation, and the history of Storor from the amazing and wild exciting works, “We STOR” has some of the most amazing and amazing works that were placed on the screen in 2025. Many drones that follow the works of Sharifaat that were wonderfully photographed. Meanwhile, acrobatic games themselves are guts like “Free Solo” climbing, just every 10 minutes instead of simply at the end. If you are suffering from Vertigo, you will have a bad time with this movie … and even if you do not, you may still leave the stage with palm trees that smell of sweat and a new estimate for not having to perform any of these dangerous works in your life.

In fact, even without explosions or an exchange of fire, “We Stor” looks like a Michael Bay project thanks to the huge scene to see these British people who are united on the roofs of homes in Malta or run with monkeys on the roofs of Indian homes. Whether you are already a fan of the group or this is the first time you hear about them, their adventure in the world is inspiring.

In addition to the intense Parkor scenes, the thing that makes “We Stor” a good documentary film is to explore the influential male interconnection. Although Bay did not participate in the actual shooting, he had one big note for Storor’s members: “They shot everything.” This included the process of preparing for each trick, careful planning to photograph dances, and site dust so that they do not face any surprises, chaos, and their doubts. These are the things that the group always leaves from their YouTube videos, so that the difference here includes.

As you can see, the film begins with a group that controls her latest trick in a Portuguese Dam before a friend of her suffers from a terrifying accident. This event casts a shadow on the rest of the movie, as various Storor members interact differently with this experience close to death. After all, they are no longer teenagers, but men in their thirties do not respond in the same way to all the tear. We learn the sacrifices they made to the group, left behind studies and other job paths, and see the beginnings of their doubts and regret them because they realize that they may not need to risk their lives to get a video on YouTube.

It is very similar to “Jackass Forever”, there is a sad atmosphere for “We Stor”. The film may be a celebration of their journey until now, but it is also a group of at least one era of their career. There is little on the part of Peter Ban’s syndrome for the documentary and how these men mainly achieved the way they dreamed very early. Now, they must count to be exposed to the weak age of adulthood, the naivety of young people, the price of converting your hobby into a job, as well as deceiving dangerous works, all of which make the influential topics that the documentary explores with care and sympathy.

Storor will continue to make videos (they filmed many at the time that this film was edited) and Michael Bay will continue to make large, ridiculous films. However, “We Stor” reveals a different aspect of each of the designs that I hope to see more in the future.
