ABOUT

244 million children worldwide are out of school. UWS’s mission is to change that, now.

UWS delivers schools, trains teachers and strengthens education systems in some of the most remote and poorest communities on the planet.
With teams in Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and Madagascar UWS truly believes the power of education can completely change the outcome of a child’s life.

The concept was to powerfully show the lost future if a child does not move into education. Writing become a powerful visual metaphor to show a child's predetermined outcome being written. By running this thread forward and reverse throughout the film showed that with the help of UWS and their donors, every child's future is doesn't have to written for them.

A small desk studio was built with a top-down rig and side shooting to show the notebook being written / un-written throughout, intercut with field footage from each of the countries that UWS supports.

This brand film was made to instilll the UWS byline:

When you educate the future, you change the future.
