On the official day for people with disabilities, we launched a nearly five-minute long movie that touched the world: "In The Long Run." The story is about a young woman and mother that pursues a lifelong dream despite physical limitations: participating in a triathlon. With the support of her family she not only overcomes physical but also emotional boundaries and masters the competition. But no matter how successful she is – an event from the past accompanies her in all the time: through a climbing accident with her daughter she has to wear a prosthetic leg.

The biggest challenge was to stage drama authentically and genuinely, but still cinematically. This was especially true for the use of the lead actress: her leg prosthesis is visible only in the last scene. In coordination with the director, the DoP has therefore come up with a leitmotif that hides her legs in the scenery in ever different ways. The transitions and camera movements were chosen so fluidly that they look natural to the viewer and are not questioned.

The film was shot on 35mm to create a warm, organic look. Light, framing, camera movements, but also set-up and acting - everything was prepared so that every take was as economical as possible. Cast, camera, editing, music and directing work together in such a way that the her inner fight and physical challenges are captured in the most authentic way. The GLE organically inserts itself into the story.
