THE RACE SET BEFORE YOU

A short film exploring the internal side of endurance sport.

The pressure, doubt, discomfort and discipline that come with chasing something you care deeply about.

Developed through conversations with ON middle-distance runner Lucy Austin, the piece centres around the idea of “staying in it when it gets dark,” and the belief that growth is less about things getting easier, and more about learning how to carry what’s in front of you.

Direction, cinematography & edit by Lester Hung
