Really happy with how this turned out. This was the first film in our "At home with..." series for Ghost Bikes, where we visit their athletes at home to get a look inside their life and mind. For this particular story, we originally scripted the theme "patience and perseverance", but as I interviewed Anne's brother Rien for the film, it became clear that these siblings share a close bond, something that transcends cycling. The interview was emotional, and naturally I couldn't ignore this... luckily Ghost bikes was on board with changing the focus of the film, which opened the possibility to create some of my proudest work yet. As Anne herself put it on IG when the film came out: "This is about me, my family, my home, @ghost_factory_racing and my journey✨ It doesn't get more personal and genuine - take a look!"
