Thank you Southern Shorts Awards 💚✨

“Climate Change And... brings up important issues like community and assistance in the wake of weather centric disasters. At least that’s where I think I’m going but instead the film gets softer and gives more of a personal perspective through Dayna the director’s participation. *The mountain vista footage must be stock. I enjoyed it and admired the cavalier grass roots approach and how it gives a good feel to the film.”

“This short doc does a great job of showcasing a community rebuilding itself after devastation and decline. I loved seeing the people coming together and sharing their stories. I really did enjoy the film and would like to see more like it.”

“I found the overall film to be very thorough and interesting especially on a topic I was not familiar with. Due to the way in which the film was presented, I actually wanted to know even more as you presented the individuals in the group very well and their goals in a compelling and engaging manner.”

* the beautiful mountain vistas were real drone shots not stock haha 🤣❤️
