His documentary takes a look
at a few Jersey Shore towns that
were hit hard from Sandy and
their recoveries. Most of all, he
focuses on the unsung heroes
from the many volunteer organizations that sprung up. People like Cassandra Vitale who
founded the Bucket Brigade
and Jeannette Van Houten who
went through piles of rubble to
rescue and restore photographs
throughout her town of Union
Beach. There are many examples of volunteers doing simple
yet amazing things.
“I didn’t even realize the first
few times that I met (Jeannette)
that her own house was destroyed,” he continued. “In a
way I started feeling pressure as
I met more and more of these
people. I hope I can do their
story justice.”
