This is the launch campaign for the Mohamed Bin Zayed Water Initiative, a $120 million 5-year global competition that seeks to increase sustainable access to clean water globally.
We shoot across the UAE, USA, Kenya and India to create launch films, case studies, teasers and a full length documentary about the challenges and the research that is already pushing boundaries. To cover the huge range of scenes we shot on-the-street observationally, with experts in their field and also using recreation and representation.
Above is the first-look teaser in Arabic, below is the opening ceremony launch film.
I had the pleasure to DP alongside a great team of friends and colleagues. Although we were mostly running with a very small core team, there were lots of different hands involved on this across many stages so apologies to those I may have missed here.
