This film reflects the tone, depth and visual language that guided our multi-country collaboration with the IOC.
Series overview
Created for the IOC Young Leaders programme, this branded documentary series profiled young leaders using sport to support their communities. We filmed a suite of stories across Latin America and Europe, from Brazil to Norway, Argentina to Cyprus.
Our approach
We directed talent, led interviews, shaped narrative beats on the ground and filmed across multiple countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cyprus, Egypt, El Salvador, Norway, and Mexico.
Working within the IOC's and Social Chain's framework, we brought intimacy, empathy and cinematic clarity to each story, always grounded in the local communities we filmed.

Why us?
We know how to work between cultures, languages and production realities, without losing sight of the story.
What began as a commission in El Salvador and Mexico grew into a wider series across Latin America and Europe, built on trust, clear communication and reliable delivery.
We bring bilingual production, on-location directing and documentary judgement to films made with international partners.
For brands, NGOs and institutions, that means a partner who can work close to the ground, while keeping the audience, brief and story in view.

WHO – Rob’s antimicrobial resistance story (AMR)
Sensitive survivor testimony for a global public-health campaign
For the World Health Organization, via Vivid Fox Media, Ospina Jones Studios provided field production, cinematography, still photography, contributor care and remote production coordination for Rob’s survivor story.
Rob Purdie – Texas, United States
Living with Valley fever and antimicrobial resistance
A sensitive contributor-led portrait filmed in Texas for Vivid Fox Media as part of the World Health Organization’s AMR is invisible, I am not campaign. Rob shares how Valley fever and antimicrobial resistance changed his life, and why he now advocates for better research, treatment and access to care.
What the story required
Rob’s story involved sensitive testimony about living with the long-term effects of Valley fever and antimicrobial resistance. With a short filming window in Midland, Texas, Ospina Jones Studios was trusted to translate the brief on-the-ground, creating an approach that gave Rob space to speak openly and naturally.
The shoot also needed strong editorial judgement and careful contributor handling, while producing interview material, documentary supporting footage and still photography that felt visually coherent as part of the same campaign.
How we approached it
Ospina Jones Studios led the on-location production, filming Rob’s interview and documentary-style supporting material around his everyday life.
We also created the still photography and edited photo assets, while shaping the filming environment carefully around a sensitive, contributor-led story.

The finished film was selected by Vivid Fox as the reference example it would share with other crews if the WHO series continued.
The still photographs were also added to the organisation’s photo library for future use.
Vivid Fox also said Ospina Jones Studios would be its first call for future comparable work across the region.
