Produced in partnership with BetterHelp, Banner captures the emotional intensity and mental strain at the peak of NCAA March Madness. Featuring Joakim Noah, NBA Champion and former All-Star, the spot is built as a grounded, cinematic pep talk — cutting through the noise of one of sports’ most chaotic moments with a message of mental resilience.

We approached production with a focus on authenticity and immediacy. Shot in a controlled yet naturalistic environment, the visuals feel intimate and unforced, allowing Noah’s performance to carry the emotional weight. In post, the edit is driven by rhythm and restraint, balancing momentum with space for the message to land and breathe.

The result is a focused, emotionally resonant piece that bridges elite competition and the broader conversation around mental health, delivered through a cinematic yet human approach to storytelling.
