The Race Against Race [Intro]
What started out as a passion project about Nattalyee's weight loss journey unfolded into a social justice movement. Watch as she leads a 50 Mile Protest Run For Justice in NYC to lift up 50 black and brown lives that have been lost to police brutality.
We came into this a little late in the process. Nattalyee was searching for a DP that could keep up with the marathon, so our own Elijah Settles with his skateboard in hand became the DP for this project. Shortly after, Nattalyee brought in the rest of the team as well. We ended up taking on the remainder of the project in post-production and were responsible for the editing, color grading, sound design, music licensing, and mastering.
