The Next Ride
Year:
2025
Project Description:
Slate Cinema partnered with **The Next Ride**—a high-impact cycling experience that fuels the mission of **The Next Step**, supporting amputees through advanced prosthetics, specialized rehabilitation, and a community of care—for a week-long content production in Africa.
We executed directing, interviewing, photography, social media marketing, and rapid-turn post-production on-site, delivering daily recap films that premiered live to hundreds of attendees within an hour of capture, alongside a full evergreen library for long-term rollout.
Services Included:
Promotional Edits
Create polished edits that help communicate the organization’s message and support future outreach.
