RUN FOR HOPE

Single-operator shoot for Gazley Volkswagen, following Sheng - a man who ran 100km for his friend and raised money for I Am Hope, New Zealand's youth mental health charity. We had no other crew. Just a camera, good questions, and space for the story to breathe. The approach was simple: draw out the narrative and trust that it would carry itself and it did. The film won the Jemima Award at the Volkswagen Dealer Awards - recognition for community impact and helped Gazley raise further funds for I Am Hope in support of the run.
