Love how simple this idea is but how emotionally full it is in terms of conveying the ambitions and "dream deaths" of a human. Really leaned in because of the filmmaking and how the director interpreted and expressed the inner life of the main character through numerous visual/auditory techniques. Felt like this was a great meeting point of an adidas hype sports commercial and indie narrative filmmaking...
