The Mex Ocean Grove is a vibrant coastal venue known for great Mexican food, a buzzing bar, and live music nights that draw in the local community. They wanted a promotional video to showcase their Friday night events, highlighting the atmosphere and energy that make the venue a go-to spot.

The aim of the project was to create an engaging event-style promo video for use across social media and digital channels. The video needed to capture not just the food and drinks, but also the live music and lively atmosphere that sets The Mex apart.

Needed to balance showcasing the menu and drinks while still emphasizing the event’s social, energetic vibe.

The venue’s low-light live music environment required creative shooting to maintain a polished look without losing authenticity.

The final piece had to work as both a general brand video and a recurring event promo asset.

I shot and edited a fast-paced promotional video that blended cinematic food and bar shots with dynamic footage of the live music and crowd energy.

Atmosphere-focused: Captured the energy of the event to give viewers a “taste” of what a Friday night at The Mex feels like.

Balanced storytelling: Combined lifestyle elements with product (food & drinks) to promote both the venue and the experience.

Multi-purpose content: Delivered a polished promo video optimized for social sharing, helping The Mex drive awareness and attendance for their weekly events.

The final video positioned The Mex as not just a restaurant, but a destination for great nights out, boosting its appeal to both locals and visitors.
