The Synopsis
This was a dream project for me. I spent my formative years as a competitive wakeboarder and had several friends compete as pros and semi-pro extreme athletes. So, years later when one of my old wakeboarding buddies reached out about doing some script writing for an ambitious wake film, I was thrilled.
It was a tight turn-around, aiming to launch at the Atlanta boat show in conjunction with Malibu Boats reveal of their $250k flagship wake boat.
What I did right
This was a real triumph. The through-line strategy I developed to help sell boats was a home run.
The film was called SEASONS because the footage had been shot over all 4 seasons; so I developed a script that emphasized how wake sports (unlike other sideways board sports) have life cycles that include eventually becoming the boat driver and teaching the next generation.
This tiny niche audience streamed the hour-plus film over a million times, Malibu sold a ton of boats, and we won several awards.
What I did wrong
The only significant downside to this project was the final voice-over acting itself. The talent we hired is a good friend and an incredible former pro wakeboarder, who was prominently featured in the film. But his skills behind the boat did not translate behind the mic.
In retrospect, I would have strongly advocated for replacing the vocal talent or doing it myself.
