Photographer, Creative Director & Producer // I help brands bridge the gap between ideation and execution through visual storytelling.
Ever wondered what it takes to pull off an international sporting extravaganza? Eight years ago, I embarked on an unforgettable journey as the executive producer of an international sporting event that gathered athletes from the United States and Japan in the Philippines for a weekend of all-star ultimate frisbee showcase games. This project transcended mere tournament status; it etched itself as a milestone within the sports history. The process entailed orchestrating a diverse ensemble, ranging from athletes and coaches to national governing bodies, sponsors, and media production teams. It was a collaborative effort that necessitated the collective expertise of an entire village, meticulously woven together within a year of preparation. As you can imagine, coordinating the participation and cooperation of so many stakeholders demanded a complex and delicate approach. As the executive producer, my lines of communication buzzed incessantly—phone and email alike—24/7 for months on end. Allow me to offer a glimpse into the pivotal elements that shaped this monumental event: - Crafting a comprehensive plan to execute an international sporting extravaganza involving at least 50 individuals spanning three different countries. - Establishing multiple channels of communication to seamlessly interconnect various departments. - Developing a concept that seamlessly blended entertainment with realism. - Collaborating with stakeholders to procure support for every facet of the venture, spanning flights, accommodations, catering, venue arrangements, permits, media production, and live streaming. This endeavor stands tall as the most ambitious and complex project of my career. Yet, with challenge comes reward. Along this exhilarating journey, invaluable lessons were learned, and enduring relationships were forged—a testament to the transformative power of collaborative effort. #EventProduction #SportsManagement #GlobalCollaboration Highlights courtesy of @PhilippineUltiverse:
