About the Short Film
Emergency Contact is a short film about having childlike faith to weather the storms of life.
Our protagonist, Troy, is a child of Hurricane Katrina, now in her 30s, who rides out the storm with an unexpected visitor–her niece, a 4th grader concerned about the family's fate.
The story sheds light on surrogate motherhood through the lens of an auntie.
