From writer/director Peter Hedges, The Same Storm is an intimate, emotional glimpse into the lives of twenty-four characters persevering over the spring and summer of 2020. With the pandemic as a backdrop, the film focuses on the importance of human connection, family, and our basic need to find understanding with those we love. With actors, director, and crew working from their own homes but collaborating together, The Same Storm celebrates movie making as a communal art.

Yet The Same Storm, rather miraculously, gets better as it goes along, with Hedges once more opting for network television-level drama but scoring a cast that is able to find shadings where none exist on the page.
