When Storm Trysail Approached me in early 2017 to bring a new perspective to the coverage of Block Island Race Week. My first call was to Chris Love Productions. Chris and I worked together on Big Boat Series when I was subcontracted as a Producer for Degan Media. We bring together our strengths in Media Coordination, Video, and Creativity.
Over 5 days, I managed the video, photo, writers, and all the social media for the week and curated it all for a daily newsletter for release to competitors called the "The 1BI."
Archive of the week:
