“Stadium of Dreams”
This piece has become the best way to explain the Wild Mile to the community.
“Richter Studios creatively captured the essence of the Wild Mile in a way which inspired and motivated people about this fantastic project. They have a unique ability to capture the joy and energy from the student at the British International School of Chicago, and distill that down to an exhilarating piece of film which leaves the viewer excited about the future of the project. Our team was especially impressed with how the film captured the whole vision of the Wild Mile in a way which reflected both our vision of urban habitat and the impact that it had on the children who are helping build the project. This piece has become the best way to explain the Wild Mile to the community."
