Filmed over the course of a whirlwind week of traveling across Ireland, this film peers into the off-the-field lives of Gaelic athletes to help fans understand what these amateur players balance on a daily basis and how the Gaelic Players Association helps them find a healthy equilibrium.
This project was a dream to work on. The push to capture so much content across the country in a short amount of time proved physically and mentally exhausting, but because of the unwavering hard work of our nimble team, the bonds formed and resulting film are incredibly worthwhile.

El Chino
Jon "El Chino" Wong would be next up in the four-generation Chinese lineage of Sun Sun Co., the oldest grocery store and wholesaler in Boston's Chinatown.
A lifetime of working for his father and uncle - endlessly stacking boxes and loading trucks while doing deliveries around New England - has worn on him and he breaks away from the family business to create a career shaping surfboards. However, when his father is diagnosed with liver cancer, the family business once again falls on his shoulders and the future of the passion driven business he's spent years building becomes uncertain.
Produced by Max Esposito, Saade Barbar, and Jon Wong.
