Excitement is an emotion as well as a visceral feeling. It is a way in which we lose ourselves, which is the essence of the new spot for Swedish horse race betting company ATG.
In it, we follow a woman who wakes up to find a horse in her house, before she is catapulted through a fantastic journey.
Swedish agency ร kestam Holst and Danish director Martin de Thurah via production house Bacon teamed up to create this dream of a film. Through magical realism, subtle sound design, and poetic images, the audience is taken on a breathtaking and almost cathartic journey through the excitement of betting on horses.
(Director de Thurah is handled in the U.S. and U.K. by Epoch Films.)

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles.

Over a century ago, pioneering explorer Aloha Wanderwell set off from Nice at the age of 16 to become the first woman to drive around the world in a Ford Model T. Now, in 2024, we get to see Lexie, the youngest person to visit every country in the world, take to the wheel of the electric Ford Explorer, reinventing that historic journey for a new generation. Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
โCharge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
