HAMCUS x ADIDAS "EXILES"

Short film by Tomas Kamphuis made in collaboration with HAMCUS & ADIDAS.

EXILES is a short sci-fi/fashion film made in collaboration with Hamcus and Adidas. It follows individuals struggling to survive amidst a harsh drought. The film delves into the lives of the Roamers, a group with a supernatural connection to the planet, a nomadic transmitter searching for hope through radio signals, mine workers trapped in a cycle of struggle, and students dreaming of a better future. A celestial event suddenly brings hope and unity to this barren world, intertwining the lives of these solitary beings. It’s a tale of resilience, serendipitous encounters, and the rebirth of hope in a forgotten landscape, all while seamlessly integrating fashion into the narrative. "Tomas Kamphuis"

Shot during the 45-degree summer in the South of Portugal and Spain, with a mixture of novices and professional crew, but all friends of Tomas. On a budget of less than 20k, tough conditions actually brought the crew closer together. I'm really looking forward to seeing these people again!
