The story of a man on a quest for a rare experience; ‘The Gentleman’s Wager’ tells the story of a bet between two men which results in a truly rare experience as part of their quest for personal progress. Filmed in the British Virgin Islands and London, the beautifully shot footage sees Law in the role of a man who, despite having it all, proposes a wager as an opportunity to challenge himself to create an original performance in order to win a money-can’t-buy experience. By the end of the short, the boat has changed hands and is once again, challenged for ownership.
