( The Brief )

Necker Island is a place people spend years imagining. Virgin Limited Edition asked for a film that would let them feel it before they arrive: the island as guests truly live it, slow, sunlit and entirely their own. We carried it from first idea to final frame: the planning before anyone flew, the shoot from the air and on the water and an edit cut to the island’s own slow rhythm.
