Find our pace, find our people.

This short film by the one hundred twenty year old brand Saucony, asks the questions: why do we run? To win? To gain? To prove you can or simply because you can? Filmed in a one-shot sequence, the piece beautifully captures the experiences of different runners, whether they’re moving alone or as part of a collective. Some run for their mental or physical health, others to achieve PBs, and some just to catch a bus.

Directors Hot Icarus capture the spirit of running; a sport that can be done by almost anyone, anywhere. Class, colour, wealth, and social status... the things that can so often divide us, are set aside as we “run as one.”

Saucony encourages us to “find our pace, find our people,” and DAVID believes this piece will inspire viewers to do exactly that.
