Interviews with creatives are always worthwhile but too often the subjects can reel off the same old answers to predictable questions. So when Mazda came to us and offered us a day on a test track in their new Mazda6, we had an idea.

The brilliant Andrew Telling helped make our plans a reality and we’ll be releasing the films over the next five days.
