Rolling on a River - Film Teaser 1
Rolling on a River:
Mill River and Hurricane Sandy
A Documentary Film - Teaser
In October of 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island. Waterside communities were severely hit by the super-storm's surge. The Southern-Nassau County village of East Rockaway was uniquely and drastically hit by the storm in great part because of the presence of the Mill River watershed which runs along the eastern border of the village. Valuable landmarks, buildings, businesses, and residences are located along this river including East Rockaway High School, Rolling River Day Camp, the East Rockaway Boat Marina, The Fishery (restaurant), and hundreds of residential homes. This is a teaser to a documentary about Mill River, East Rockaway, and how the area has been changed as a result of the storm. The film is not really about what happened during the storm, but instead, it is about the community and how Mill River is a reflection of the East Rockaway community.
This is a documentary teaser/trailer I produced for my Documentary Expressions course (RTVF 241) at Hofstra University as a part of the MFA Documentary Studies and Production Graduate Program. I am producing the full-length documentary this semester (spring 2013) in my Post-Production course (RTVF 281C). Enjoy this teaser.
