Hell or High Water

Hell or High Water

The purpose of the film is to gain perspective and knowledge about natural disasters in the hopes that it will provide others with the knowhow to prepare, protect, and recover from future events. We are featuring residents from Nassau County, New York, Moore, Oklahoma, Joplin, Missouri, and New Orleans, Louisiana. We are learning from those who have been displaced and had their lives turned upside down in the past, in order to aide the recovery process for those recently devastated. In the end we hope that this will help others who may be in the path of a future natural event prepare themselves for what comes before, during, and after the storm arrives. With the news vans gone, what do they do now? We feel that everyone needs to know that it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. We must help educate those who may not know what to do when it happens.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis

The inhabitants of this city undergo the sessions on the couch. Unlocked by formally trivial questions, they begin their journey into the depths of their own feelings and emotions towards the place where they live. The city itself becomes only a starting point. Over time, conversations get more intimate. The scenes from life, reminiscences and highly emotional moments interlace with the subjectively perceived shots of the city. They are blending together, complementing and interacting with each other. The fears of the film characters, their desires and unfinished affairs become the narrative axis of the film by constituting a common fate.
