2011 was the year of SUP video projects for us. Punta Sayulita approached The Mango Tree to produce video for the 2nd Annual Punta Sayulita SUP and Longboard Classic. They were simply asking for videos ” that moved the needle”. As a video and film producer with a broad range of clients and experiences I love vague instructions. It gives me some freedom to explore and learn more about my client and use the power of video to ” move the needle”.

Punta Sayulita is a new real estate development that is very involved in Sayulita through The Punta Sayulita Foundation. I was searching for a way to involve an SUP/ Longboard event and concert while connecting the event to the magical diverse vibe of Sayulita.
The event also included a live beach concert featuring Mishka. After listening to this soulful reggae artist I wanted to use his voice to tell the story. A few minuted after meeting Mishka I realized we would have some good media to work with.
I ended up producing several clips for Punta Sayulita and the client was very happy with the results. I look forward to working with them again in 2012.
