I am a Producer and the Managing Director for Whipped Sea, the production company behind Savage Waters, a documentary film by Mikey Corker. Whipped Sea is an independent production company based in France and operating globally.
We produce bold and cinematic feature length documentaries and docu-series, showcasing stories with strong cultural or human interest themes. They must challenge your preconceptions and inspire you to go on adventures and push the limits of your curiosity.
We love universal topics beautifully filmed and storytelling that disrupts the status quo, astonishes and captivates the widest possible audience. Our films portray protagonists who push the physical, endurance and mental boundaries of humankind to the limit.
Savage Waters tells the story of how a 19th century book passage leads a crew of modern adventurers to hunt the ultimate surfing wave in some of the world’s most beautiful, but also most savage waters.
Throughout history, humankind has shared an innate trait – the desire to explore the natural world and seek adventure.
Savage Waters takes us deep into the minds of the 21st century adventurer to find what drives us as humans to push our physical, personal or geographical boundaries in our constant desire to stake new territory.
Whipped Sea is a also co-Producer of the film by Christopher Nelius produced by Pursekey Productions and Finch, Girls Can't Surf, which is set in the 1980s where the world of professional surfing is a circus of fluro colours, peroxide hair and radical male egos.
Surf culture is the hottest thing on the planet and male surfers the main event. Meanwhile, women in surf are being paid a tenth of the prize money and relegated to holding contests during the men’s lunch breaks. Girls Can't Surf is the untold story of how that ragtag bunch of inspiring characters broke loose to turn women’s surfing into the multi-billion-dollar industry it is today.
To continue our ocean adventures, Whipped Sea also co-produced "La Quête du Sauvage", a stunning freediving odyssey with World Champion Morgan Bourc’his filmed in the waters of the Norwegian Great North by Jean-Charles Granjon of Bluearth Prod.
In addition, I am also an Executive Producer of Against the Tides which is a feature documentary by the BAFTA-nominated and award-winning filmmaker Stefan Stuckert. The film follows marathon swimmer, Beth French, as she sets out to conquer Oceans Seven, a challenge consisting of the seven most dangerous sea-channels in the world.
Against the Tides was nominated for Best Documentary at Austin Film Festival and Marbella Film Festival, and it won the Filmic Prize at the Nordic Adventure Film Festival in Copenhagen.
There are a lot more projects in development or for which I act as Executive Producer. You can find more about all of those on the Whipped Sea website.
