Pitch
Mahmoud Adel aka Big Moe Kicks has been in the sneaker business for over 10 years. Although I was never really a sneakerhead I was always fascinated by the commitment I see in both the seller and buyer. The more I saw my cousin doing this the more I wanted to know more about it.
So for this short documentary, I want to do it all about my cousin and how it has been being in the business for this long. i want to also highlight the past two years, I am sure covid has impacted him tremendously. I want to know what his journey was like, how he got started, and know what it’s been like.
The growth in his business is something I witness personally so I want to know how did it go from selling a bunch of random sneakers from his garage to two fully stocked storge units and almost 35k followers on Instagram.
I believe that this could visually be very interesting. I want to film his storage units, him delivering the sneakers, and possibly what a regular day would be like for him. I am sure he also has friends who have been with him from the start and customers who he might have had from day 1 so if i could get them to be a part of this as well it would be great.
