PAU Cycling Documentary

Promotional Film
We partnered with Team PAU to develop Closing the Gap, an eight-part documentary series exploring the world of junior cycling in the UK and the barriers young riders face when trying to access elite-level sport.

The series follows riders, coaches, and the wider cycling community across a demanding national racing calendar, capturing both the intensity of competition and the personal stories behind it.

Balancing cinematic storytelling with the unpredictability of live sport was one of the biggest challenges of the production. From changing race routes and unpredictable weather to fast-paced schedules where nothing stood still for long, our team had to stay flexible throughout filming. Careful planning, adaptable shooting setups, and detailed production schedules allowed us to capture the key moments that shaped the series. The documentary also features contributions from cycling legend Bradley Wiggins.

The project has since been recognised at the Lens Awards, winning Gold for Best Use of Video in Sport, Travel, Leisure and Tourism, alongside Silver for Best Documentary Style Video.
