Tour Des Femmes - Skoda
”Women are not physically capable of completing 21 stages,” said in 2015 the head of the UCI, the world governing body of cycling.
We created a documentary with Skoda documenting 13 women riding the whole ‘Tour de France’ the day before the mens race in an act of defiance and resilience. We built a fast-moving social campaign alongside the ride, filming on the road and capturing interviews with the riders as the story unfolded. The content took off, building a viral following, and we went further: in a 24-hour rush we edited, clocked and delivered a TVC that replaced Skoda’s Tour de France Paloma Faith spot to promote the women’s race, while the riders were still out there completing their defiant achievement. This project was pivotal in the momentum towards the now established Tour Des Femmes.
Masewera - ‘The Game’ (in development)
Malawi, despite its size, has one of the best netball teams in the world. Inspiring women and girls across the country. Even in the most remote and hard to reach places. We were lucky enough to witness the raw passion, determination and pure badass skills at a grassroots level in the remote village of Chimbiya. It sparked an idea and this is part of a long term project.
