Desc: Flood: Directed by Katy Scoggin. I try to mend my broken relationship to my evangelical father in a script. But the more I write our characters to get along, the worse our real relationship gets. He hates that I'm writing about his beliefs because he knows I dismiss them. We fight bitterly until I take a leap of faith and turn my camera around on the two us. As I film with my father, I get to know him differently: not as a character, not through grievous memories, but as a person. Meanwhile, the U.S. is divided after an explosive election. Back home, my evangelical family is fiercely divided as we prep to move from California to Virginia. Hanging by threads, we head from San Bernardino, devastated by a mass shooting, for Charlottesville, a peaceful college town. We arrive just before white supremacists wreak havoc. It feels like there's no escaping terror and hate in contemporary America. Amidst this chaos, I seek solace in my revived relationship to my dad. We may disagree vehemently, but we've learned to talk again. To do that, I had to quit writing his lines for him and learn to listen.
