Sports Illustrated

race you home collaborated with sports illustrated on a cinematic short featuring nfl star pat surtain, shot in denver. rather than leaning into highlight reels or game-day spectacle, the film followed pat in a more personal moment — walking his dog, reflecting on his journey, and grounding himself in the routines that shape elite performance. the creative direction centered on restraint and intimacy, allowing space for stillness, reflection, and character to lead the story.

through natural pacing and understated visuals, the film explores what it takes to reach the highest level — not just physically, but mentally. the result is a portrait that feels calm, focused, and intentional, offering a glimpse into the mindset behind pat surtain’s rise toward defensive player of the year. it’s storytelling rooted in humanity, not hype — letting presence, discipline, and perspective speak louder than spectacle.
