Yesterday we told you about the documentary short Beach 87th St./Surfing After Sandy, and today we’ve become aware of another documentary short about Hurricane Sandy and the Rockaways, called Beach 119. It’s about the community along Beach 119th Street (GMAP), survivors of the storm on the Rockaway peninsula, and how they connected and bonded afterwards.

It’s being submitted to film festivals the spring. Here’s the trailer:

MAC Presents produced the film, a company that handles artist-brand partnerships, event production, and marketing in the music industry. They felt connected to the devastation in the Rockaways by the story of Issy Sanchez, a 35+ year veteran of the music industry, and his community, who all live on Beach 119th Street. Thus, the film was born.
