Strength Through Strides
Non-Profit | Filmed in California, Nevada, DC, NYC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas | Documentary
The challenge: Athlete/activist Summer Willis imagined a docu-series of her marathons around the country: worthy of her mission, but affordable for a new non-profit.
The solution: Eliminating travel costs by assembling expert crews around the country (capable of running with cameras on gimbals), all produced/directed remotely. Consistent visual and storytelling quality… despite being filmed by 17 different camera people.
This exhaustive remote production work ranged from planning individual marathon schedules for each of the 4-7 crew per race, studying road closures and parking, obtaining permits for on-course/drone access and using GPS apps to become mission control on each marathon, keeping crew and runner in sync.
This series has been featured in dozens of local news stations, People Magazine and Runner’s World.
