Film to promote the release of Barrett®’s military contract AR10 platform, the REC10™. Since the rifle would actually be used in theater overseas, we wanted the story of soldier and rifle to be told in the most authentic way possible. We used real marines and special operations forces to both be on screen and off making sure every scene was authentic and true to how it might be in the field. We wanted every frame to feel dusty, grimy, with no escape to any semblance of comfort. We filmed on the Canon® C700™ and had to have it bagged in every scene because of the amount of dust and debris we kept putting in the air. All of the action scenes were shot with the shutter over-cranked as well to give it that frantic look made famous by Saving Private Ryan. Filming took place in central Utah in the middle of December. There was no snow on the ground miraculously, but it was a struggle to have the locations read hot in camera. All-in-all, we had an incredible cast, crew, and client that really made our vision for this spot come to life.

In Bangladesh, there are 36 million financial outcasts living off the land, and without the ability to access credit, save, and secure their future.

Small farmers usually grow more than they can sell in local markets. This excess produce is often wasted or sold at a loss to middlemen.

AgroBanking by United Commercial Bank is the world’s first initiative to transform fresh fruits and vegetables—into bank accounts.

UCB, one of the Largest Banks partnered with the largest grocery chain in Bangladesh, Shwapno, to purchase such goods at fair prices.

AgroBanking allows farmers to open microsavings accounts in exchange for their produce.

Through its massive farmer and distribution network, Shwapno can deliver the fresh fruits and vegetables to stores across Bangladesh.

Finally giving farmers the opportunity to join the formal economy, reduce inequality and help them grow.
