Cult of Running

Over the course of three years, I followed a handful of runners in the Toronto running scene. Guided by religious themes, running itself is positioned as a deity with its very own religion. A special thank you to everyone who has been involved in this project. Below is a sample. Stay tuned! 👟

Lost Contracts

I drew inspiration from a variety of works. From a subject matter perspective, The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young served as inspiration. I liked the way the filmmakers disseminated information about the race and its participants throughout the film. They developed character without leading the audience in any particular way. Stylistically, Arc'teryx's short film about bouldering, Arc'teryx Presents: Keep it Real, informed the look and feel of the overall film.

When it came to finishing touches, John Carpenter's Escape from New York inspired the sci-fi-esque infographics that pop up throughout the film. ESPN Film's 30 for 30 series also served as inspiration, as each of its episodes expands on the thesis that sports and culture are inextricably linked.
