Verizon: a family’s disaster resilience story.

A Tampa family finds peace under a new, hurricane-ready roof after Hurricane Milton.

The story

Disaster resilience becomes tangible when it is seen through a family’s experience. This Verizon film follows a Tampa family rebuilding a sense of safety after Hurricane Milton, with a hurricane-ready roof at the center of the story.

The finished film is part of my selected documentary-style branded work. It connects a broad subject—preparing for and recovering from extreme weather—to the people living through it.
