The new spot for Famous Footwear, directed by Norry Niven for The Richards Group, is an empowering and poetic call to #stepforward. In the piece, women of different backgrounds move confidently towards the camera, their words aimed to challenge a better future with that first step. The project, Niven’s first via Lucky 21, harnessed the director’s talent for blending style and impact. The award-winning director relates that a number of the actors were moved to tears, “by masterful writing and poetry of the call to action.”
