Storyline

Storyline will produce Sandy Storyline, a participatory web-based documentary directed by Rachel Falcone and Michael Premo that explores the immediate and still-unfolding impacts of Hurricane Sandy through the experiences of some of the millions of people whose lives were affected by the storm. The project integrates a series of professionally produced, character-driven short films with a growing collection of multimedia stories contributed by residents, business owners, volunteers, and citizen and professional journalists. Sandy Storyline reveals Hurricane Sandy’s ongoing impact as other media coverage fades, with personal stories that explicate public policy challenges, which include crumbling social safety nets, the precarious position of an over-leveraged middle class, and disinvestment in public infrastructure.
