We saw this film at Ashland Independent Film festival and were quite impressed with both the story and the film-making. The film is very believable and in fact, fictional scenes are combined with documentary footage (including real life interviews of victims) of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina in Louisana. This made the story even appear more real and was a unique way to portray a very poignant current event in a narrative fiction format. Zack Godshall, the co-writer (with the lead actor) and director was present at the screening for a Q and A. He is a young filmmaker who is very sensitive and talented. We expect to see lots more of his work. We also commend his choice of actors...all were quite good as was the choice of music which set the mood, and lastly, his cinematographer was excellent and has a very good eye. More work by all of these professionals will be welcomed.
