SANIBEL began as an offbeat comedy exploring the quirky, seashell-obsessed culture of Southwest Florida. But six weeks into filming, Hurricane Ian - one of the most destructive storms in U.S. history - devastated the region. As the waters receded, the crew returned to find a transformed landscape and story. What was once a lighthearted film now grappled with a deeper question: would the community's love for shells and the coastline survive the weight of its overwhelming grief, or would it find a way to heal and rebuild?
