TREKARIUS Field Guide: Street Protocol (PDF)
Street Protocol
The low-profile documentary system for filming real people in unpredictable places — solo.
This isn’t a “motivational filmmaking ebook.” It’s a field manual: rules, scripts, and checklists you can use fast when things are unpredictable.
- Move low-profile (don’t look like “media”)
- Get truth fast (without humiliating people)
- Capture pressure (so it edits into a real story)
What This Guide Solves
You can have great footage and still come home with a weak film.
Street Protocol fixes the 3 problems that kill most solo docs:
- Safety mistakes (you look valuable / no exit / wrong energy)
- Weak access (you can’t get real people to open up)
- No structure (chaos doesn’t cut into a story)
What You Get (Inside the PDF)
- The 10 Non-Negotiable Rules — how to move like a tourist, not a journalist
- 60-Second Risk Scan — score the scene fast; leave before it flips
- De-escalation Scripts — short lines that calm things down and exit clean
- Access System — the fastest access ladder (connector → leader → org → cold approach)
- Cold Approach + DM Templates — copy/paste outreach that doesn’t sound like “news”
- Consent + Anonymity Scripts — simple lines that protect people (and protect you)
- Gear Packs (3 budgets) — Phone-only / Compact camera / Pro kit (still low profile)
- Audio System (Premium Cheat) — clean sound fast + backup habits
- Interview Engine (4 triggers) — questions that work anywhere (no canned cringe)
- Shot List — the exact “Netflix feel” shots: hook, place, person, pressure, relief, exit
- Edit Recipe — repeatable structure that turns chaos into a story
- Printable / Screenshot Field Cards — use them in the street in seconds
Rule: if it takes more than 60 seconds to set up, you’re too visible.

What is the Sale Street Protocol?
The Sale Street Protocol is a solo documentary filming methodology designed for high-risk environments. It prioritizes silence, speed, and anonymity, allowing filmmakers to operate in dangerous locations without drawing attention.
The core of the Protocol is the concept of the "Mobile Base." Because you have no crew, your bag must function as your studio. This is why the Protocol is built exclusively around the TREKARIUS 35L Travel Pack — designed to carry cinema-grade gear while maintaining a "Gray Man" (low profile) appearance.
Required Gear for the Protocol
To execute the Sale Street Protocol effectively, you need specific tools that balance quality with stealth.
- The Camera: iPhone 16 Pro Max (Main) & iPhone 15 Plus (B-Cam). Small footprint, 4K quality.
-
The Mobile Base: TREKARIUS 35L Travel Pack.
*Crucial for blending in. Must not look like a camera bag.* - Audio: Wireless lavs (hidden) + Shotgun mic (run & gun).
- Storage: SSDs for immediate backup in the field.
Stop looking like a tourist.
The Sale Street Protocol only works if you are organized and invisible. I designed the TREKARIUS 35L specifically to execute this system in 96 countries.
