Why Do We Run?

Why do we run?...If I could understand Spanish, I might be able to tell you the answer. That's not because all the answers to life are written down in Spanish, but because in this latest spot for Nike by Director Joan Cobos, he gives us a metaphorical insight as to why? Why do we run? At least I think he does but it's in Spanish?.... and like I said, I don't speak Spanish.

Regardless of why we run, this is a beautifully crafted little film, which features David Bustos, the best young spanish athlete of 2012 and former Team Nike runner. Cut by Quin

Vote For Quin! Louis Vuitton - Journey Awards

Quin and Director Joan Cobos at Palma Pictures have made the shortlist for the Louis Vuitton Journey Awards with their beautiful short film 'Laura'. Please vote for the film HERE. NOW! If you haven't heard of these awards before, here is some copy and pasted information for your perusal.

The heart of Louis Vuitton has always been about travel, both in its real and emotional sense. It was to convey this that the original Journeys film was made. In 2009, this film was revisited by the director Wong Kar Wai who brought his own inimitable style to the story.

So three years ago Louis Vuitton launched Journeys Awards inspired by their own short film: The first edition focused on the notion of journey, both in its physical and emotional meaning. This year Louis (not King Louis of Jungle Book) launched the 2nd edition with this brief: What is an encounter? How does it affect you? What do you encounter when you travel? These are the questions you will have to answer in a personal video.

...And so I present to you - 'Laura' - Exterior and interior infuences that are the base of creation. The encounter between the artist and the inspiration.

Palma Pictures Arrive In Barcelona

Barcelona FC have been in the news a lot lately following their recent fall from grace in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea. The team hailed as 'The greatest club team of all time' has under-achieved this season and with the departure of Pep Guardiola this summer, it's all looking doom and gloom. However, the boys might have a reason to smile when they see how their beautiful city is portrayed in this new film from Palma Pictures, Barcelona.

Close friends of tenthree, Palma Pictures have expanded with a new production base in Barcelona and Quin cut this film from a beautiful selection of rushes showcasing the diversity and opportunity of locations in this unique city. Making it extra special, Deborah Williams (Quin's better half), wrote and performed the track! What a couple!
