A life of momentum

Scored to Willie Hutch's iconic blaxploitation anthem 'Brother's Gonna Work It Out,' the title sequence explores Bourdain's life on the road, his outward momentum, and the inward conflicts he faced.

Styleframes

We express this conflict and the multiple lives Bourdain lived— as a consequence of his fame— through windowing, raw and organic retro imagery, and a color palette as striking as the man himself.
