Adidas - Dame Time
Working closely with the in-house team at Adidas we created a long form documentary about the life of all-star NBA player, Damian Lillard. The documentary coincided with the launch of Damian’s latest Adidas shoe. We suggested that a longform approach would maximize engagement, and enhance the storytelling capabilities of the project. The doc was released in chapters online and helped to revolutionize how the brand approaches branded content creation.
Adidas - Visionary
With the success of Dame Time and D.O.N, Adidas asked us to create an ad for Damian Lillard’s shoe launch, with the theme of ‘Visionary’. Our in-house director Will Robinson directed the film, with the brief of bringing out what mental focus brings to Damian’s game and what it can bring to all our lives if we appreciate the power of our minds.
Beasted with Eddie Hall
We worked with the Team at SportBIBLE to develop and execute the most ambitious and most successful Facebook Watch series of 2021. Literally! It was watched and shared more than any other series commissioned by the platform in the EMEA region.
The concept: “Queer eye, for gym-heads”. Eddie Hall (World Strongest Man 2017 and World Record Deadlift Holder) takes 6 out of shape men and over a 6-week period puts them through their paces with strict diet regimes, workouts and words of wisdom.
The series garnered well over 20 million views over the 7 episodes and Beasted was the most successful Facebook series of 2021 in the EMEA region.
Waterford
Working in collaboration with Delightful Media, this branded documentary about whisky production and in particular a new approach taken by Waterford Whisky took us to South East Ireland, where the sourceres at Waterford produce stunning whiskies using the sensibilities of winemaking, over the current standardized methods of whisky production.
We took on the creative development of a brief to delve into the science and art behind the artisan whiskey making. Directed by one of our in-house directors Will Robinson, the film brings to life the spirit of “terroir”.
The Man With Four Legs - Feature Film
An exploitative documentary crew investigate the delicate disposition of an insomniac fantasist, leading them on a surreal and threatening pursuit to unearth the mystery of his identity. Written and directed by one of our in-house directors Ed Christmas, this dramatic feature film won Best Film at the Thin Line Film Festival and has been described by critics as “Elegantly disturbing…A genre-busting whirlwind of beautiful and insidious artistry.” (Film Enquiry) “You know you’re witnessing something unique.” (Denton Time). “Christmas’s films is superb…poignant and true. (North Denton Daily). “A great surprise and a film that makes one think.” (UK Film Review)
