Don't Fail Idaho
'Nowhere'
Drake Cooper of Boise, Idaho, approached us to help them craft a story of engaging disparity surrounding their “Don’t Fail Idaho” campaign. The staggering fact surrounding the core of the story, that only 1 in 5 kids are prepared for life after high school, became the center point of our visual exploration. We wanted to drop these kids off in “Nowhere,” so to do that we took our team to the sprawling, mountainous countryside of Sun Valley, Idaho. The beautiful landscape gave us everything we needed to visually accentuate a magnificently ballsy script. We’re already looking forward to heading back someday.
