Write a short summary of what happens in the film

After winning an online sports bet, a son sends his mother on an elevator ride, which speeds up and takes off through all the floors of the building, to the first class of a plane. A spectacular climb that causes quite a bit of damage along the way and an emotional ride for the mother until she settles into the plane at the height of her happiness. A smashing and powerful epic adventure with a touch of humor to the sound of Elvis' If I Can Dream.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the cinematography.

Everything looks and feels real – again, despite the fact that what is happening is clearly impossible! As such, our visual style is epic, visceral and beautifully photographic – using sweeping camera moves, and dolly tracking shots with more visceral handheld close-ups to create a story that zips along from start to finish, full of energy and dynamism. We combined several in-camera and post-production VFX to ensure that our visuals always feel believable and spectacularly cinematic. The sense of grandeur and decadence of our apartment block, and indeed the class of characters we meet, gradually shifts as we rise from floor to floor and this will be reflected in the style of architecture, colour palette and art direction of their specific corridors or apartments, and of course their wardrobe.
