“Unlike Any” is Under Armour’s newest and most expansive global women’s campaign to-date. Created by Droga5 New York, the campaign honors its athletes by pairing each with accomplished spoken word artists to craft poems unique to each athlete’s story. The poems are read by the artists as voiceover on each of the respective films, resulting in powerful odes to celebrate female athletes’ unwavering spirit and transcendent abilities.
This film features famed ballerina Misty Copeland. The camera follows her poetry in motion–unfolding to the words of Saul Williams.
Georgia Hudson of Agile Films directed the series of films which feature Copeland, stunt woman Jessie Graff, Harlem Run founder Alison Desir, world champion sprinter Natasha Hastings, and actress/Taekwondo Black Belt artist Zoe Lanxin.
