Trouble the Water

We are troubled by the water. The many facets of our experience with the primordial element continue to impact our lives. On the surface Trouble the Water is an exploration of a company of souls separated by the coming of a hurricane. But deeper lays the questions of faith, family, and the legacy of our collective trauma. It is not the blame game that drives this story. Not a tale of levees, politicians, and government failings. We are less concerned with the cause, than we are with the effect. The generational connection between time and place has been severed. Trouble the Water is a story of these souls, and their efforts to find their way out of the water, and back to each other.
