A Hero's Journey: Jalen Ramsey
Award: Shortlist
Shortlist / Direction / Fashion Film / 2023
NFL superstar Jalen Ramsey takes control of the narrative by asking questions the press don’t ask him directly. This is portrayed in the film by Jalen playing both the host and the guest, interviewing himself. The film travels through his mind, unpacking what makes him tick, how he preserves his mindset, and everything that makes him great. It contrasts to the chaotic soup of news reports we hear as the three men, dapperly dressed in Gucci, listen on the radio.
