SANIBEL (feature documentary) initially set out to be an offbeat comedic follow documentary about an oddball community and the island they had made their own. However, Mother Nature had other plans. On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Ian proved to be one of the most destructive and deadly storms in U.S. History. In the aftermath, our film crew returned to the island. The new mission was to document the storm's impact on these lovable characters and the recovery effort to save this lost paradise.
Before the storm, the shelling community was highly competitive and at times petty. Although some animosity remains, in the wake of the destruction, rivals became allies and banded together to support one another.
When the water receded and it was time to take stock of the damage, some dedicated themselves entirely to the greater recovery effort. In contrast, others scrambled to keep their businesses and families afloat.
