The Story
After a recruiting scandal wipes out Princeton's freshman class of fencers, an enterprising scout sees a chance to improve his own standing in the form of an unimpeachable high school senior. A black rec‑yard fencer from an underprivileged background with more than a few demons. Unfortunately, the only person he can find to get the kid into Princeton shape is a fencer who was defrocked after fouling out of the Olympic finals.
Behind the scenes with the Fencer team: researching the sport, collaborating in meetings, and moments from other projects. These photos are here for fun and context — only Fencer team members pictured have a contractual relationship with the company.
