About this project

Very proud to share this film that tells the story of the Duolingo English Test through those it impacts most — the students! We traveled to 5 cities in 4 countries to interview 16 university students about the challenges of studying abroad, the evolution of the testing industry, and the life-changing power of higher education.

This project was special. We worked with Duolingo’s DET team to plan out a multi-country shoot to film 15+ different subjects who have all experienced having to take an English Proficiency Test in order to attend an English speaking college. Our core team was 5 people and then we picked up a few roles in each country we visited.

GRACE

For too long, English proficiency tests have been an expensive, stressful barrier between you and that next opportunity. This is the story of Grace from South Sudan and her experience with the test and Duolingo.
