Breaking the Circle, WePresent x Tobias Nathan

  • April Edgar

A music documentary which spotlights the womxn reclaiming Brazil's Samba Circles and opposing the country's rampant gender inequality, homophobia and racism. I led the PR launch of this editorial piece on WePresent, WeTransfer's editorial platform. Alongside media outreach I also organised a private screening and Q&A with the Director as part of the UN Women's HeForShe Arts Week in Amsterdam with Danielle Boelling & Rob Alderson from WePresent's editorial team. I interviewed Tobias Nathan at the event. I've also led the award submissions for this piece which has led to the following recognitions: - Lovie Awards, Gold Winner - Telly Award, Gold Winner - Clio Awards Editorial piece: https://wepresent.wetransfer.com/story/breaking-the-circle-tobias-nathan/ Full press release: https://wetransfer.pr.co/171774-wetransfer-presents-short-film-breaking-the-circle Full film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qotA19eSfKE Side note: I can't upload any of the film stills, BTS photography or embed the youtube link at the moment so have used this image as a placeholder for now.
