Documentary director hopes to help save lives and property from catastrophic storms

A new documentary film provides an in-depth and intimate look into the personal and community costs that face the nation’s most vulnerable areas to extreme weather events if more stringent building codes are not adopted – and the Tampa Bay area is one of them.

The Last House Standing examines the Malibu wildfires of 2018, a series of catastrophic tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma in 2013, and Hurricane Michael's devastation of Mexico Beach and the Florida Panhandle in 2018. Tampa and St. Petersburg are also prominently featured in the film – as areas that are woefully unprepared for major storms and climate change.

The end of the school day brings a burst of activity to the blocks around the James B. Sanderlin Neighborhood Family Center. What unfolds is a ubiquitous scene of yellow buses, crawling cars and crossing guards dutifully shepherding children across the street.

Some of those children will head to the Sanderlin Center, where they’ll do homework, be tutored in math and English and engage in enrichment activities such as gardening, yoga and art.
