Pan Celtic Ultra Race 2021 Official After Film | Friction Collective

On July 4th 2021, after the postponement of the 2020 race, riders from all over the UK set off from Maker Heights in Cornwall to embark on a much needed and long awaited adventure through Celtic nations and parts of South-West England steeped in Celtic tradition. The typically brutal weather paired with a challenging route would test even the strongest wills, as both mental strength and physical endurance would be pushed to the limit. Friendships would once again be forged within this fire and strangers, rivals and clan folk alike would enjoy an experience they will never forget.
This is their story.
We were honoured to be part of this project from the very start. Pan Celtic Race truly do it differently. The words ‘clan’ can be banded around easily, but they really do create one big extended family. A massive thank you to all the riders, first and foremost, who stopped on their constant pursuit of the finish line, to take the time to talk to us and create the basis for the storyline, without those moments, this film wouldn’t be anything. I lived in @tobychillis‘s pocket for 14 days, having previously never met, we spent 24 hours a day in a small van together and the working environment was hilarious. Constant laughs and pure focus on the task, combined. #PanCeltic
CLIENT REVIEW
WOW. We first heard about Friction Collective through mutual friends, Restrap. We were introduced and talked through our projects needs, our goals and what we felt right with Jack adding his expertise and thoughtful insight along the way. The level of understanding of our thoughts was exceptional and we were able to trust in him to deliver those ambitions throughout. Jack was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole project and with his guidance, together we created a beautiful film that we will be forever proud of. We have asked Jack and Friction Collective to collaborate with us again on our next project such was the level of his work. OUTSTANDING
