AGE UK - Just another day

AGE UK - Just Another Day - Agency: Drum - London / Production: Independent Films - London

In collaboration with Channel 4

Age UK asked me to direct this film 'Just another day', to show the everyday monotony of lonely people in England. (This is the 2' version. See the 4’ version in Narrative section or link below.) 

With the film, Age UK’s 2017 Christmas campaign saw their highest increase in volunteers and donations ever recorded. The 60sec TVC and 4min long-form film were also supported by a partnership with Channel 4.
