DP COREY ROOD FOR ADIDAS "REMEMBER THE WHY" INTERVIEWS

“We were able to interview 10 of Adidas’ most influential and well-respected NBA and WNBA players for this piece and it still stands as one of my favorite projects I’ve ever been a part of,” says Corey.

“We shot an especially intimate interview with Damian Lillard. The director, Michael Johnson, was able to pull the vulnerabilities out of everyone with the question: ‘Why do you do this, and do you remember that while you’re playing?’ We set up a very intimate, dark environment for the athletes, and I think that allowed them to relax and open up.”

To commemorate Damian breaking the Trail Blazers all-time scoring record, his film was broadcast throughout the Portland Moda Center, and appeared on the jumbotron during his first returning home game.
