📁 CANADA GOOSEShai Capsule Collection
Role — Creative Director
This film is a day-in-the-life documentary that captures Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s charisma through interactive moments with his real crew, while showcasing his latest Canada Goose capsule collection. Set in Toronto and rooted in the grit of Hamilton, the story balances nostalgia, community bonds, and swagger—spotlighting the energy and humor that define Shai both on and off the court. More than a product launch, it’s a cultural portrait: a window into the people, places, and relationships that have shaped Shai’s style, character, and creative influence. 

Visually, the film blends wide architectural frames with intimate close-ups, set against brutalist backdrops like rooftops, garages, and stairwells. The two-camera setup feels dynamic and immersive, moving with Shai and his crew instead of observing from afar. Editing follows a fast-paced, montage-driven rhythm—cutting between candid banter, product portraits, and vignettes at Hamilton landmarks meaningful to Shai, bringing together personality, style, and setting in one cohesive beat. 

The overall look and feel is lively, warm, and grounded, like a candid hangout video with cinematic polish. Opening with an iconic visual hook of Shai and his crew dressed in the capsule and closing on a tableau of brotherhood against the Toronto landscape, the film celebrates both Shai’s roots and his reach—leaving viewers newly inspired by the man, the community, and the culture he continues to move forward.
