- W2046064892 abstract "526 www.thelancet.com/respiratory Vol 2 July 2014 Something as simple as breathing can easily be taken for granted, but for patients with cystic fi brosis it’s a daily struggle. Project Breathe Easy is a sports fi lm dedicated to raising funds for cystic fi brosis research and care, featuring some of the best pro fessional freestyle mountain bikers from around the world (including Sam Reynolds and Logan Peat). Leading the project is Matt MacDuff , who’s younger sister was diagnosed with cystic fi brosis at age 8 weeks. MacDuff is passionate about the cause, and has put a huge amount of time and eff ort into this project. Filming began in August, 2013, and took place at Leil’s Sanctuary of Fun, a mountain biking range in remote Truro (NS, Canada). The unspoiled backdrop provides a down-to-earth visual feel, to which the cast add with their out-takes and jokes between the action sequences. The fi lm opens to informal, behind-the-scenes footage of the set being built, with voiceovers from the participants giving their thoughts about both Matt’s ideas and the project itself. MacDuff receives all-round praise and support from his fellow bikers, particularly for being “pioneering” in his design and execution of the project. Several fi lm producers and crew volunteered their time and skills, and the result is a documentary-style short fi lm, which is lighthearted, but with a professional fi nish and some truly impressive footage of the freestyle mountain bikers performing tricks. The fi lm is set to a relaxed hip-hop soundtrack and features generous use of slow-motion shots, making for impressive viewing. Arguably the most important feature of the fi lm is that the proceeds from every purchase are donated directly to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, but unfortunately this point is not emphasised. The beginning of the fi lm includes a message on screen, but this doesn’t seem suffi cient to explain the purpose of the project. The fi lm is intended to raise both funds and awareness, but with barely a mention of MacDuff ’s motivation or backstory, it is easy for the focus to be lost. There is also no direct mention of cystic fi brosis during the fi lm; it is a pity that the director and cast did not take the opportunity to educate a wider audience on the subject. This lack of background makes the fi lm’s purpose seem somewhat vague, but it remains captivating viewing nonetheless." @default.
