BERLIN BRAVES - 'HOOD LAPS' - EVENT + FILM
IN A PRODUCTION FOR THE BERLIN BRAVES, WE CREATED BERLIN’S FIRST NEIGHBOURHOOD RELAY RACE IN 2018 ENTITLED 'HOOD LAPS'. BOTH 2018 AND 2019 WE EXPERIENCED A FANTASTIC OUTCOME FOR THE LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL RUNNING COMMUNITY.
THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND HOSTING A RELAY RACE WAS NOT ONLY TO OFFER A NEW INITIATIVE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS, BUT ALSO TO CONNECT WITH OUR DISTRICT AND BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THOSE WHOSE FOCUS OF THE WEEKEND LIES ON RUNNING 42K AND THOSE WHO JUST WANNA GO AS FAST AS THEY CAN ON A SHORT DISTANCE.
16 TEAMS OF 16-TO 24-YEAR-OLDS SUBSEQUENTLY WENT HEAD TO HEAD, PACING A DISTANCE OF 400M AROUND THE BERLIN BRAVES HEADQUARTER.
TRAILERS BY SAM TEMPLETON:
TO ACCOMPANY THE 2019 EDITION, WE TEAMED UP WITH YOUNG FILM DIRECTOR NILS HANSEN, WHO SHOT WITH HIS BOLEX CAMERA, TO PRODUCE A SHORT FILM AROUND THE EVENT SERIES.
WE SEE AMIE, GETTING READY BECAUSE SHE’S PART OF LAST YEARS CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM: ‘FAST DONT LIE‘.
WE SEE THE BIPOLAR BOYS MEETING UP AND GETTING READY IN OUR STUDIO TO PRODUCE SOME BIG TUNES FOR THE AFTERPARTY.
NILS FOLLOWED SOME OF OUR GOOD FRIENDS FROM TRACKMAFIA, BIPOLAR BERLIN, PATTA RUNNING TEAM, AND THE BERLIN BRAVES WHO RECEIVED THE SECRET INVITE TO JOIN THE RELAY IN KREUZBERG, BERLIN.
