This is My Magic Hour is a short film about that special time between darkness and daylight, when amazing light conditions make cities look their most seductive and intriguing. But it’s also about a stage in life; after adolescence and education but before all the responsibilities of fully-fledged adulthood. Photographer Jasper James introduces five young creative people as they navigate this important period in their lives, attempting to make a living out of the things they love.
If you’re inspired by the film, HUB want you to get involved and share your own magic hour moments. Tag your photos with #mymagichour on Facebook and Instagram to be automatically entered into a prize draw with the chance to win some great swag. They have over 150 prizes to give away, including Go Pro Hero 3+s, HUB shoes, shirts, sunglasses and a whole lot more rad stuff.
