Filmed in Miami during Hurricane Isaac, 'When We Lived in Miami' is a hypnotic short about the lengths one woman will go to keep her family from falling apart.

When teenager Chelsey finds her grandmother dead, she knows life without the Cuban woman who raised her will never be the same. So she skips school with her brother Cassidy and his friends, making their way across Miami to a black metal show, where she confesses her secret.

A love story told through science, literature, and music, invoking Miami's mystical undercurrents.
