This short introduces us to Blackstone Bicycle Works, a nonprofit bicycle shop that teaches inner city kids in the Chicago area how to repair and restore old, unwanted bikes–a work experience which also imparts some valuable life lessons while providing a safe haven in the neighborhood.
Blackstone is the first organization to be recognized by Seattle’s Best Coffee’s Brew-lanthropy Project, which contributes to worthy causes.
Additionally, Blackstone received a full renovation of its break room as well as one year’s supply of coffee and hot chocolate.
Matt Ogens from Tool of North America directed for Seattle agency Creature. The short was scored by composer Greg Kuehn of Peligro Music and Sound, Los Angeles.
