Directed by Sophia Nahli Allison (a Best Documentary Short Subject Oscar nominee last year for A Love Song For Latasha) and backed by Melina Matsoukas' new creative collective de la revolución, Droga5 NY introduced lululemon’s first step into the performance footwear space with an artful love letter to "A Woman’s Foot." Mirroring the considerations of the BlissFeel Running Shoe–the brand’s first running shoe made for women first–the film celebrates the intricate nuances of women’s feet and what makes them feel good in motion.
“A Woman’s Foot” was shot in Mexico City and Shanghai in collaboration with cinematographer Michael “Cambio” Fernandez, with the local support of cinematographer Stevo Sheng in China. The film also features some of the brand’s ambassadors: Colleen Quigley, Kadeena Cox, Changning Zhang and Mirna Valerio alongside other real female runners.

Directed by Steve Rogers via production house Revolver, this 90-second Christmas film for Aussie telecommunications company Telstra--created by agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire in tandem with +61--tells the story of an accidental singing superstar, Little Donkey, who goes on a whirlwind tour across the world. But eventually stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be as Little Donkey misses its family at holiday time.
“We wanted to tell a Christmas story without falling into the holiday cliches. Hopefully the heart of this rings true and people get a bit of giggle along the way,” said Micah Walker, chief creative officer at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire.
Blake Crosbie, managing director of +61, said, “It’s a charming story that is so true of Christmas and so naturally adds to our brand idea ‘Wherever We Go’.”
