Execution
The director highlights the relationship between athletes and supporters through synchronicity. The film's edit and occasionally brutal interpretations of the action make for a compelling watch showing both the achievement and bravery of our athletic heroes.
The director is a self-taught filmmaker whose international background shapes his distinctive, visual style. With a childhood spent in Johannesburg, Dubai, and Sydney – these experiences opened their eyes to the world and continues to greatly influence their work to this day. Their textural and experimental work finds new ways of exploring visual storytelling, always with a human story at its core.
Their work has garnered recognition across the globe, including inclusion in both the Saatchi&Saatchi and 1.4 New Directors Showcases and Best Alternative Video and Best New Director at the UKMVA’s. These honors are all the more extraordinary for a young director who is just four years into their commercial film career.
