Toyota has long supported athletes from around the world (Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTAs)) in various ways. This time, 14 highly original creators will harness their unique talents to produce videos of para-athletes, and the teams that support their passions, as they tackle daily training and new challenges. These works will be gradually released around the world, including on the project website and Toyota’s official social media.
Working with different themes, Toyota will continue using DIRECTORSCUT to provide a platform for diverse individuals who tirelessly pursue creative endeavors.
The creators from the various background express their unique characteristics in their works.
