🎬 What if the air in our buildings wasn’t safe to breathe?

Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Netherlands, this question has faded into the background. But ensuring air safety remains important to prevent airborne diseases to spread.

MIST Project challenged us to bring this issue back into focus. The result? Clean Air Matters - a thought-provoking short film designed to raise awareness about the importance of good indoor air quality.

🎥 Watch the film here: https://youtu.be/-zLvtVyMbkU?si=rod0DEFYObcYq-cp ▶️

We created an alternate reality where every breath is a risk, and full-face masks are the norm. We step into a world where air safety is taken to the extreme - until one breakthrough changes everything.

To tell this story, we embraced the power of hashtag , using cinematic storytelling. This format allows us to create a non-existing world where we can take things to the extreme, to create - hopefully - a message that sticks.

A huge thank you to Atze Boerstra, Elham Maghsoudi Nia, Maggie Bourgonje- MAGmenu for the trust and close collaboration and to our incredible team who made the film possible:

What if we had to breathe only our own air? 😷 Imagine a world where every breath is risky and wearing a full-face breathing mask is the norm. In this though...
