🇨🇦 More than a year ago we started a conversation with the incredible and ambitious team at and and have since been on an incredible journey to bring the Where it Begins campaign to life for Milano Cortina 2026–100 days from today.

Every Paralympic athlete’s journey starts somewhere — in a community, with a coach, a family member, a friend who believed. This campaign celebrates those powerful origin stories and the people who made them possible.

We’re honored to collaborate with incredible partners , and to craft a campaign that captures the heart of what makes these athletes extraordinary: the communities that lifted them up and the determination that carried them forward.

Here’s to filling the stands and celebrating where greatness begins. 🏔️✨

Appreciating the intersectionality of the climate crisis and those affected by gender bias, we have created a short film for International Womens Day.

We wanted to share it with you in the hopes that you might like it enough to share it with your audiences. Daughter is a short film that we imagined and produced for International Women’s Day.
As parents of two girls, we felt compelled to amplify the voices and perspectives of young women who are facing down this unprecedented crisis.

The brief film is dedicated to women and girls around the world and to our shared mother, Earth.

We hope you find it compelling enough to pass on. Thank you.

Please see the credits on the link for all involved, and especially the young women who contributed their voices to this. As always, thanks to the partnership of Outsider Editorial alter ego Oso Audio Groundglass Casting
