Rebuild Recover

In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy our effort to help those in need reached audiences worldwide when musicians from all over the world spoke out in support of our cause. From household names like Michael Stipe (REM), Fleetwood Mac, and the Wallflowers to local artists Nicole Atkins, The Parlor Mob, and Jillian Taylor the response was overwhelming. Our producing partner Joe Minnella started documenting the relief and recovery effort from day one and covered the story for two years. Our film "After Sandy" screened at the Indie Street Film Festival in Red Bank and we were awarded the audience award for NJ Filmakers in 2016. The film would go on to win several other awards worldwide. Watch the full film below

And it only exists because of the amazing people I encountered during that time. We hope that you'll not only enjoy this film, but that it will be a source of comfort and inspiration, applicable to the various hardships that each of us and our neighbors will face at one time or another. **Quick credit correction** It could take months for me to have every single name that should be thanked for the production of this film. And even then I'm sure I'll miss somebody. But for now I noticed a couple names in reviewing the film that I temporarily overlooked: Mark Wierbicki, The Larnaitis Family, Tom Farinaro, and Gina Leigh If we missed you, please don't take offense and feel free to reach out. In organizing this volume of people, a few are bound to fly under the radar.
