Brick X Brick | Commercial Willie Monroe Jr

With the unique opportunity to create a short doc featuring nationally ranked boxing legend Willie Monroe Jr., we set out to capture the drama inside and outside of the ring. Filming at two boxing rings, documenting a training montage, conducting an interview, and capturing forty-three shots—all in one day—we think we may have found the spirit of true athleticism: perseverance in the face of defeat. The piece went on to win Best of Broadcast at the local American Advertising Awards.
