A Living Local Magazine.

Documenting place, people & culture — through cinematic stories, objects, and collaboration.

Above the Hook is a modern local media platform capturing the places people love and the stories that shape them.

The shore, elevated.

We live where the hills rise above the hook and meet the ocean.
Where the skyline glistens on the horizon and winter storms roll in with a vengeance.

Here, we learn to see beauty in the everyday —
the shelled shoreline after a storm,
the possibilities in what’s washed ashore,
the resilience of a community shaped by both the bounty and the fury of the sea.

Above the Hook was born as a way to document and share the spirit of this place.
What began as creative expression has grown into a living record — stories told through imagery, objects, and the people who define the rhythm of life here.

Our work takes many forms:
small-batch, thoughtfully made apparel,
sustainable art and objects,
cinematic storytelling,
and the quiet passing down of local lore.

Each is a way of honoring where we are — and paying attention to what’s around us.

We hope this platform invites you to slow down, look up, look out, and feel the energy of the here and now.

To join in.
To belong.
To elevate the shore.

Way up north.
