The International Olympic Committee (IOC) rolled out this two minute short film titled What Agnes Saw. The film is narrated by Danai Gurira (Black Panther) and will be played during the Tokyo opening ceremonies on 7/23 and is part of the IOC’s “Stronger Together” campaign. What Agnes Saw was co-directed by Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe, a duo that just won a Best Live Action Short Oscar for co-directing Two Distant Strangers. This is their first project since their big Oscar win, and Free’s first brand spot.
What Agnes Saw features 100-year-old Olympic legend Agnes Keleti and Olympic newcomer Sky Brown, connecting wisdom and experience with the future. The campaign celebrates the strength, resilience, and determination of athletes to bring hope, unity and inspiration to people around the world. Production company on the two-minute film was Dirty Robber.
