The newest short film from Under Armour’s “Rule Yourself” campaign features Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps.
Directed by Martin de Thurah of Epoch Films for Droga5 New York, the short focuses on the intense training regimen, sacrifice and determination of Phelps as he trains into the wee hours. His story is a perfect fit for the Under Armour mantra, “It’s what you do in the dark that puts you in the light.”

Plant-based food brand THIS™ is bringing its trademark humor to TV screens during Veganuary with the debut advertising campaign from its new creative agency, London-based St Luke’s.
Centerpiece of the campaign is this film directed by Glenn Kitson through St. Luke’s in-house production studio, Apostle Studios.
Shot in a mockumentary style complete with hand-held camera work on 35mm film, it stars a glamorous and very upbeat real estate agent who loves being at the top of her profession. She then reveals how after just one taste of the juicy, award-winning THIS™ Isn’t Pork Sausages, things changed. If meat-free sausages can taste this good, she reasons, then absolutely anything is possible. And with a flash, our estate agent has decided to become a wingsuit flyer--with somewhat unfortunate consequences.
Nonetheless, she remains cheerful, and the film finishes with the line “THIS Changes Everything*” along with a disclaimer that “everything” does not include wingsuit flying abilities.
