S24 E235 Melissa Cronin and Devin Gmitter - Finding Stoke Documentary
In this episode, we’re joined by Melissa Cronin and Devin Gmitter of Greener Concepts Inc., a powerhouse agency transforming brand strategies into compelling visual content. You may recognize Melissa's name, and that's because she joined us on the podcast in 2021 and 2023!
Today, she and Devin are talking all about their newest endeavor. Finding Stoke is a powerful documentary that explores the transformative impact of surf therapy, following individuals on the autism spectrum, LGBTQ+ youth, and those with Down syndrome as they experience healing and joy through the ocean. Filmed from the shores of New England to the Blue Zones of Costa Rica, the film highlights personal stories of resilience and the profound sense of community fostered by organizations like Gnome Surf Therapy. With stunning visuals, raw storytelling, and expert insights from therapists and researchers, Finding Stoke captures the emotional highs of participants' triumphs while examining the science behind why surf therapy works.
