Breakthrough tells the powerful story of how struggle can be a catalyst for profound growth and transformation, and that sometimes, the only way out is through.
Breakthrough is the latest in a series of impactful videos produced by Boulder Crest to raise awareness of the possibility of thriving — not just surviving — after trauma. The film serves as a reminder of the burdens we all carry and the lifelong training we undergo as we transform struggle into strength, hope, and growth.
We tested dozens of lenses, and the cooke Anamorphics FF, to us, felt truly immersive and rendered reality with an authenticity that’s hard to put in words.
With the surreal sequences that are happening inside our protagonist’s mind, we wanted a look that felt real, cinematic and yet one that instantly creates rapport with our characters.
For this project, we only needed two focal lenghs, the 40mm and the 85mm macro. With the Full Frame of the Mini LF combined with the anamorphic squeeze, we were able to get extremely intimate to our talent without loosing field of view/context.
