As the NBA postseason heats up, we’re throwing it back to one of our favorite projects from last year: a short feature with Julius Randle, exploring his favorite hidden gems across Brooklyn—presented by Topo Chico. Shot just after his trade to the Timberwolves, this piece unexpectedly became a love letter to NYC—a heartfelt sendoff to the city and fans that helped shape his journey. Grateful to partner with Topo Chico on telling stories like this—especially during moments of transition, legacy, and big moves.🏀 Client: Greenhouse / @topochicousa Agency: @hymkr.co Stills + motion: @neilshuk + malakhaipearson Locations: @thebkcircus / @taqueriaalpastor /@blackgoldrecords Production company: @thunderroadprojects

TRP: Selected Works 24-25 Volume:02 Thunder Road Projects (TRP) is a Boston-based creative production company founded in 2022 by Director and Photographer Malakhai Pearson. At TRP, we believe in storytelling through a community first approach, with the ultimate goal of elevating the voices of the partners and the clients we work with. A Note from the Director: When I started TRP two years ago, it wasn’t because I wanted to run a business, it was because I had to. In this short time, TRP became a home for my creative work and a platform to push creative production in Boston and beyond. Through TRP, I will create art, tell meaningful stories, and build the needed infrastructure for creatives in the city of Boston. Together we are here to support emerging talent in Boston and to make space for the next generation of creative producers. This past year, we brought on our first intern, @malaluvsyou , introduced to me by my creative partner @misssaluma . Mala has been an incredible addition to our crews — not only supporting my commercial photo work but also stepping into their own as a credited producer and photographer on multiple projects. To the crews and collaborators we’ve worked with this year, thank you. I am endlessly grateful to work alongside such an exceptional group of creatives and artists. Special thanks to our family, @brainchild.tm and @stayslientpvd , @letitflyclassic + @kyleumemba To our partners and clients: your support fuels everything we do. You keep this dream alive, and we’re deeply appreciative. I hope 25 brings more stories, more art, more money, and more collaboration. If you’d like to work with TRP (crew or client), our inbox and DMs are always open, shoot your shot. Until then if you need us we’ll be in the gym…🏀 📩 [email protected]

The director’s cut for Ugg and Concepts editorial “off court”. Note from the director: Our whole team was excited to work with some of the hoopers from the @letitflyclassic on this lifestyle shoot for Ugg and Concepts. It’s cool because there’s this element of where sport meets lifestyle. That in between space is really interesting to me personally. This editorial rounds out the whole project with Concepts and LIF for 2024. We shot the LIF doc then went right into a lifestyle shoot. Our teams for each project were nimble and able to pivot and adjust when needed. Our stylist Jenny did an amazing job with the looks for the talent. Everything came together in a really organic way. I had also worked with Jaylen in 2022 on a passion project so it was dope to see him a few years later.

To us the Bodega x Grid Shadow 2 “Jaunt Woven” embodies the balance of playing hard and taking it easy. This is a vibe our team is deeply connected to. Inspired by some of our favorite shows from the 90’s this project came together as a “jaunt” effort (see what I did there) between our friends @bodega and our crew here at TRP. This is the first collaborative directorial effort from @neilshuk + @malakhaipearson . The stills for this project were captured by the great and powerful @adamjasoncohen all on @kodak_shootfilm . Please see full crew notes below. Here is the directors cut for the Bodega x Grid Shadow 2 “Jaunt Woven. Hit our site for the full project notes. See y’all soon and happy Q1. /// @bodega @sauconylifestyle Production: @thunderroadprojects Talent: @smithleyville @darwin.pem @sssancaaa Crew: Art Director: @rickyorng Producer: @gracecf Directors: @neilshuk + @malakhaipearson Director of photography: @neilshuk Stills: @adamjasoncohen Producer: @misssaluma Gaffer: @jakefay_bteam Styling assistant: @justakm21 Production assistant: @http.dugan.mp3 Post Team: Post lead | editor | VFX: @mikelarareo / @marathon__post Original score: @mozes.mp3 Color: @just_ngu / @neilshuk Special thanks: @rulecamera + Tyler the Dog. #
