THE RISING: Hoop Origins | Stephen Curry Documentary

Project Description

NBA star Stephen Curry’s “Underrated Tour” sponsored by Rakuten makes a stop in Tokyo, Japan. During his visit, we created a short film with him to capture the rapid growth and momentum propelling the sport of basketball into mainstream Japanese culture. The goal is not only to shine a light on the talent and rich basketball culture in Japan but also to elevate Rakuten’s brand in the basketball world.
