SURGE is a compelling exploration of resilience amidst devastation, following three families caught in the chaos of Hurricane Helene. The atmosphere is immersive, with strong performances that reflect raw emotion and the struggle for hope. Filmed by students at Watauga High School, it’s remarkable how they've captured such depth in their storytelling. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the unpredictable nature of the storm itself. What stands out is the practical approach to effects—no over-the-top CGI here, just a grounded representation of real hardship. It feels personal and intimate, echoing themes of community and recovery that resonate deeply, especially for those familiar with the region. It’s a unique piece showcasing young talent and a community's spirit.
