Commissioned to create a promo to showcase for the very first time the McLaren Solus GT . An extreme McLaren design concept born in the virtual racing world. Now made real. And ultra-rare. There will only ever be 25 Solus GTs.
Rendered possible through McLaren’s position at the apex of motorsport, supercar and hypercar development – this is a pure expression of track driving focus and engagement.
It began as an audacious, extreme concept sketch. Solus GT then launched into the hot competition of the gaming world in Gran Turismo SPORT in 2017, where it raced to virtual victories. It was from these totally uncompromising roots that the hyper-exclusive track car was born. Untainted by rules or regulations. Straight from the world of imagination to raw, tactile reality.
Promo film for Carney's Community, a south London charity-run community centre.
The mentoring that Carney’s Community offers is unique. Many of their beneficiaries report being ‘passed between’ different agencies (one young person had to tell his story to 40 different professionals before accessing support) which can lead to young people feeling frustrated, and disengaging from support services.
At Carney’s Community, a young person builds a trusting relationship with a single consistent person; this relationship lasts as long as the young person needs; and the mentoring is taken up by the young person when they want it and are motivated to make changes in their lives.
As a part of Red Bull Media House’s Ride to the Roots global documentary series, I produced this special episode starring Turkish former professional motorcycle racer Kenan Sofuoğlu , who won the highest number of Supersport World Championship titles to date.
The shoot took place in three different countries, Turkey, Germany, Netherlands.
Born A Believer is Darius Norowzian's debut documentary, telling the story of a charity run London Boxing gym that helps troubled youths. Edited by Grey London’s fantastic head editor Matt Newman, the documentary is told through the eyes of five emotionally engaging ex-offenders. It not only gives an insight into the troubles of post-gang life but also highlights how vital Carney’s Community is in preventing ex-gang members slipping back into their old ways on the streets of South London.
