Directed by A. G. Rojas of Park Pictures, Saatchi & Saatchi New York tell Derrick Coleman's empowering story of struggle, determination and triumph. 'Trust Your Power' is an anthem of a commercial.
Coleman, of the Seattle Seahawks, went deaf at the age of three and was 'picked on and picked last' throughout his childhood. But he powered through to become not only the first deaf offensive player in the NFL but also a member of the winning Super Bowl 2014 team.
Gregory Reese colored the emotive spot and told us; "it's always great to work with A.G. and I've been a fan of Linus Sandgren, the director of photography, for some time now. I'm thrilled to have worked with them on what turned out to be a very touching spot".
