Timeouts Series
Life as a collegiate athlete can be tough, US Cellular’s Timeouts series features 8 athletes and dives into the importance of taking a break from the noise so they can focus on their life balance.
This project was another collaboration with our friends over at rEvolution World and our very own Ricky Staffieri directed this series! This one took us a bit all over the U.S.; we were filming in Maine, Iowa, Nebraska, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Missouri, and our home state of Illinois! We had the privilege of interviewing some top collegiate athletes at the top of their game discussing the ways that they take breaks from social media. Being that these athletes are in classes and sports, their lives are hectic! We had a lot of fun filming these athlete’s in their “timeouts” as well as each of their respective sports.
The end result was a series of 8 videos that were released on US Cellular’s social media channels and all of them performed extremely well with tens of thousands of views each!
