I was hired to film Fyre Festival: Jordan Pulmano!

Colm Flynn Season 2 Episode 5

Jordan Pulmano is a filmmaker from California who specialises in shooting music videos and festivals. His work has brought him all over the United States, and to other parts of the world. But back in 2017 he got a call to film a music festival that would go down in history, but for all the wrong reasons. 'Fyre Festival' was billed as a glamorous, exclusive, and one-of-a-kind music festival which was to be held on an island in the Bahamas. 

Jordan was really excited to go and film with his team who would be documenting everything over the course of the festival. Their job was to produce a highlights video at the end that would be used to promote the festival the following year. But as they landed on the tropical island, straight away it was apparent that things were not going according to plan, and over the next couple of days things quickly fell apart. 

The man who organised the festival, Billy McFarland, was jailed for four years.

Here is Jordan's story of being hired to film the infamous Fyre Festival.
