The North Face

Question Madness

Craft: Editing

Is climbing a mountain in the middle of a snowstorm brave or insane? That’s the question North Face poses in a digital anthem spot, which features athletes enduring harsh weather conditions, frustration, tears, injuries and even coming face-to-face with death. Overlaid text asks consumers if it’s obsession or devotion? Crazy or calculated? Madness or progress? For The North Face, it’s all just a matter of perspective.
