‘Daddy No Legs’ is a film produced for Esso in collaboration with Adam&EveDDB. It follows David Birrell, an inspirational, real-life father whose ultimate goal – as a double amputee – is to take part in one of the world’s most prestigious and oldest active sports car races in 2022. Directed by Oscar-nominated, multi-award winning ITN’s director Marcel Mettelsiefen, the film was shot in a documentary style and is narrated by David himself. The research was undertaken in-house and steered by the director, which led to a stronger bond between the director and protagonist, and a deeper engagement with the agency and brand.
