The School of Life ” Cultural Mining”

Wednesday Studio

From the creator:

"Ultimately, life is only 700,000 hours long so we have to make sure the ideas we need don’t get lost – or take too long to find." - Alain de Botton

This is what the The School of Life does, they sift through the most valuable parts of culture, then mine, extract, and remould it into practical advice to help us maintain our sanity in modern day life.

We made this film as a piece of love. It was a great opportunity for us to work with Alain de Botton and to collaborate with the very talented Daniel Clarke. We hope you like it!
