Mak recently teamed up with Chelsea and England footballer Raheem Sterling for a series of new Samsung films. The project came together with everyone sharing the same vision, with Mother agency providing the production and post and the creative folks at Samsung and Playmaker Films providing assistance.
Mak turns ‘Nights Sports’ into a dazzling blend of visuals and dance-like movements creating a very pleasing aesthetic while still capturing the Samsung brand.
Mak had this to say- "It was an absolute joy to work with the talented creatives, production and post team at Mother agency to create two films; 'Night Sports' and 'Sterling Sells' for Samsung and Raheem Sterling. The eclectic nature of the films allowed me to flex my creative muscles in different ways as 'Night Sports' focused on the visual sensibilities and 'Sterling Sells' is in the realm of a mockumentary. The experience was made even more fruitful with the lovely people at Samsung and Playmaker. From a personal standpoint and as a football aficionado, it was an immense pleasure to work with Raheem."
