Hiroto Ohhara - Into the Unknown (2020)

Originally intended as an Olympics campaign, we shot Hurley-sponsored Hiroto Ohhara in his hometown of Ichinomiya, which was set to become the stage of the biggest competition of his life: the surfing competition at the Tokyo 2020 Games.  As the pandemic forced sporting cancellations everywhere, we re-edited the footage in post-production into an emotive narrative about local communities and the desire to never, ever, give up on one’s dream.
