Ever dream of quitting your day job and taking the trip of a lifetime? Ever wish you could ditch the guidebook and go straight to where the locals go?

For each episode of This Is My City, Tim and Thomas find a local who is willing to show them what life is really like in Lisbon, Beirut, Beijing and five other global metropolises… Over the course of a madcap weekend, they film everything that transpires, no matter how dangerous, bizarre or borderline illegal.

Tim Kafalas and Thomas Beug first met in New York in 2004. They bonded over a shared love for losing themselves in foreign lands. They were also both serious about filmmaking. Thomas, an Irishman, was a producer at Droga5, a Creativity Magazine Advertising Agency of the Year while Tim, American, worked as a video editor at MTV.

This Is My City is a show about what cities mean to the people who live in them, brought to you in the most personal way. It’s not about seeing the sights; it’s about seeing the soul.

This is a self-funded, self-produced passion project. We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who helped out along the way to make it all possible. We hope you enjoy it.
