Academy Award-winning director Spike Lee has teamed up with us for the primary time to direct Who Are Ya?, a brand new brief movie starring a number of actors, avid gamers, supporters, and legends – together with Thierry Henry, Rachel Yankey and Aaron Pierre.
In the beginning look, it portrays the type of dialog heard in pubs up and down the rustic. Critiques flying, voices emerging, debate resulting. However because the dialogue unfolds, it turns into obvious that this isn’t about ways or avid gamers. As an alternative, the characters dive deep into monetary jargon, a nod to fashionable supporters’ deep figuring out of the trade at the back of soccer.
Directed in Lee’s signature taste, and that includes his iconic ‘double dolly’ methodology with Henry, Who Are Ya? blends humour, cultural references and sharp discussion drawn without delay from Arsenal tradition. The outcome is a movie that feels each cinematic and unmistakably unique – tapping into the surprising incontrovertible fact that soccer supporters are a number of the maximum passionate and knowledgeable commentators on finance anyplace on the planet.
A who’s-who of Gooner greats, along Thierry, supporters will even experience cameos from Arsenal legend Martin Keown, actor Jasmine Jobson, and present avid gamers Kai Havertz, Gabriel and Viktor Gyokeres.
Director Lee commented: “I’ve been using with Arsenal for years – it began with Thierry. However what in point of fact stayed with me is what the membership stands for, its historical past, its tradition, how it displays the sector past the pitch. With Who Are Ya?, I sought after to seize that actual supporter power—the fervour, the debates, the humour.
“Enthusiasts nowadays don’t simply apply the sport, they perceive the whole thing round it too. Bringing Airwallex into that dialog felt herbal, for the reason that movie performs on how fanatics now communicate concerning the trade aspect of soccer simply up to what occurs at the pitch. This movie is ready that voice, that tradition, and that group.”
Matt Jennings, International Ingenious Director at Airwallex mentioned: “Let’s be fair – maximum Arsenal supporters have not heard of Airwallex, and we did not need to be a random brand on a fringe board; so we made up our minds to introduce our Arsenal partnership in some way supporters couldn’t forget about.
“Soccer is not just 90 mins at the pitch – it’s the debate about cash, trade, and ways that occur on the pub each week. We are hoping our movie brings the ones conversations to lifestyles in an entertaining manner, and guarantees no Arsenal fan will ever have to invite, “Air-who?”
Our Leader Industrial Officer, Juliet Slot, added: “Our partnerships are at their highest when, along side companions like Airwallex, we raise our supporters and convey them nearer to us. Who Are Ya? is a party of the improbable interest of our group, and the way we will use our shared platforms to attach us anyplace we’re on the planet.
“We adore Spike’s interest and figuring out for our membership which shines thru our movie.”
