A devastating family portrait emerges as hurricane Katrina's deadly storm surge engulfs three brothers in their father's house.
A Corner of Her Eye is the gripping first-hand experience of three brothers who take on hurricane Katrina as a personal challenge. Though military shelter is within reach, they choose to ride out the storm, influenced by their father. Entwined with this struggle for survival is an offbeat family story of a kind not seen in previous Katrina documentaries. The father's powerful psychic presence accumulates through the storm’s fury and aftermath, when the brothers arrive at poignant new insights into their father and themselves.
"...an intimate and spooky portrait that starts as a fun adventure and ends as a disaster barely averted."
-- Rooftop Films
"Fear comes into the fore as the brothers brace themselves with their weather.com, beers and each other. . . This amazing footage provides a strong narrative structure and is amplified craftfully with background alarm noise and ambient panic."

I’m aware that my brothers and I were privileged in comparison to many who suffered serious losses in the storm, and so I’ve used the documentary to raise money for Habitat for Humanity and the Common Ground Collective, organizations deeply involved in rebuilding Gulf Coast communities.
However, this is not a social-issue documentary. It has nothing in itself to do with issues of race, poverty or public policies. It's the story of three brothers who go to Mississippi to commune with their father, and end up doing exactly that. Though we made our own decisions, our father’s character is inescapable to the question of why we ignored all warnings to evacuate and chose to face the deadliest storm to hit the U.S. in a century.
