By Daria Miyeko Marinelli
Directed and Developed with Anna Skidis Vargas

What happens when a storm hits? Who leaves and who is left behind? And what happens when on the eve of your 30th birthday? Do you go back to that small town that was flooded to see if you can find anything of your family, your past, or find the idea for your next best book? Telling the story of an unnamed usonian town devastated by floods, rebuilt by its inhabitants and exploited by its offspring, 30 Floods is an exploration of devastation, legacy and creation that asks what it means to be flooded, rebuild and turn 30.

The run time for 30 Floods is 65 minutes with no intermission.

Contains some mature themes and the use of food (rice crackers).
