The Same Storm

Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Same Storm presents viewers with an intimate, emotional glimpse into the lives of twenty-four characters as they make it through the spring and summer of 2020. Each character is dealt with challenges that many people were forced to face during the pandemic in what felt to many like a living nightmare. With COVID, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the looming 2020 election as key backdrops, the film takes a relatable approach as it explores the importance of human connection, family, love, and the ability to understand others during a time when all of that seemed out of reach. With an all-star cast, including the likes of Sandra Oh, Mary-Louise Parker, Ron Livingston, Moses Ingram and more, writer/director Peter Hedges crafts a unique piece of hopeful filmmaking that celebrates the artform's ability to connect us all.
