Hurricane was shot entirely in St. Marys, Georgia, over 24 days between October and November 2010.[1] In order to raise the funds to complete post-production, a Kickstarter campaign was initiated by Susan Johnson, the film's producer.[2]

Release and reception

The film played at various festivals throughout 2012, including the Woods Hole Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Dramatic Feature.[3] In their review of the film, the Cape Cod Times described it as "a tale of loss, desire and rebirth, enhanced by strong performances by [Lynskey] and [Peltz]".[4]
