Said afterwards, once the films had been lived with.

We barely noticed anyone was filming, which is the highest compliment I can pay. Then the film arrived and half of it was moments we did not know had happened.

The interview questions were better than the ones our agency wrote. What came back sounds like us on a good day rather than a brand deck read aloud.

Three sites, five days, and production stopped for a total of about twenty minutes. People still bring the film up in interviews eighteen months later.

The highlights film went out at nine the next morning. Every event film we had commissioned before that arrived three weeks late and got forty views.

We waited three years for that day and I was worried a camera would make it feel staged. It did the opposite. My father's speech is in there in full.

Clear about what was possible in the weather window, clear about what was not, and the film we got is better than the one we asked for.
