2025 on Fire

Writer's picture: Brian BowenBrian Bowen

Oh my, where has the month gone? January has flown by, and it feels like it was just

January 1st yesterday. It’s been an action-packed and exciting month, with some travel

abroad, filming a new album release party for a local musician, and premiering our first

surf film in Fernandina Beach, FL. We’re incredibly grateful for all the amazing events

we’ve been a part of this month, and we’re already booking up services and events for

February, so stay tuned for all the great things happening in our neck of the woods.


To kick off the new year, Angela and I spent a week in Panama with some friends from

California. We spent our first night in Panama City, then took a short flight to Bocas Del

Toro, an archipelago on the Caribbean coast of Panama, known for its incredible surf

breaks. We stayed at the Red Frog Bungalows on Red Frog Beach, and it was an

unforgettable experience. Mornings were spent surfing (and I did quite a bit of filming),

followed by our daily latte fix with friends. Afternoons were spent at the beach or

exploring the area, and we’d wrap up the day with a surf session at the Back Yard surf

break. The dinners were five-star, prepared by the resident chef and staff. We highly

recommend Red Frog Bungalows if Panama is on your bucket list.


Our partner Aidan Marks also traveled to Puerto Rico for a long weekend to film during

one of the swells that hit the island. He captured some incredible content with his clients

and explored the area to find the best waves. If you’re looking for a traveling

photographer to capture your adventures, whether across the U.S. or abroad, Aidan and

I have extensive experience in traveling and producing premier content for any

occasion. Drop us a line to inquire about special event photography and videography

packages or trips abroad at support@southenedgestudios.com.


On January 18th, Southern Edge Studios was hired to provide photography and

videography services for the album and music video release party of local Fernandina

Beach musician Brian Ernst. Brian held his sold-out event at the Amelia Musical

Playhouse, and we recorded some incredible content that he’ll be using for future music

videos and marketing material. Brian has another sold-out event coming up on February

15th, so be sure to check out his music as he’s dropping new tracks on Spotify. If you

need professionals to capture photos or videos for your event, don’t hesitate to reach

out via email or give us a call (Office: 904.441.0982).


Lastly, I want to highlight the recent premiere of our first surf film, Local Motion: A

Fernandina Beach Surf Film. I’m proud to have led this project, handling the editing and

production, with clips from local videographers and featuring surfers from Amelia Island.

The coolest part of the film was having Gilberto ’77, a local band, perform the live score

during the premiere at Mocama Beer Company in Fernandina Beach last weekend. We

had an amazing turnout, and the venue reported the highest sales and biggest

attendance for any event since they opened. We’ll be releasing the film soon for public viewing, once North Florida Recordings finishes the live recording. The success of this project has inspired us to host more film premieres in the coming months at Mocama Beer Company. Stay Tuned!


Along with the new surf film that was released, we also released new t-shirts and

hoodies for purchase on our web shop. The artwork was created by surf artist Drew

Brophy from San Clemente, CA. The new art is radical and we are stoked to be able to

have had Drew complete this original piece for Southern Edge Studios.


January was a blur with all the amazing events and travel, but we’re incredibly grateful

to have kicked off the year on such a high note. February is shaping up to be another

busy month, so stay tuned for updates on our social media pages. Thank you for

following and supporting our growing media business.
