ZonKlast Studios can confirm that SunnyJ Shores attended the Amsterdam Ocean Film Tour on April 20, 2026. Was it ‘work’? Also yes.
Officially, this was a business development mission. Unofficially, it was also just a really good excuse to watch big-budget wave footage on a big screen. Here's what we were ‘researching’:
Technical Scouting: How everyone else is filming underwater action, so we can steal the good ideas.
Market Intel: Talking to European buyers about what ocean-themed stories are actually worth right now.
Creative Research: Stealing visual references for ZonKlast's own water-heavy projects, because why reinvent the wave.
A full technical breakdown — camera nerd stuff, mostly — is coming to the blog shortly. Stay tuned.
Where the research led: the ocean films we watched so you don't have to, and the first proof of concept — Achilles Returns, out now on Gumroad. The thesis stands: have fun with your art and it starts resonating with people you've never met.
