We live inside this Hurricane as it begins its journey as an ominous sandstorm in Senegal, heading west across the Atlantic building momentum as it tosses ships on growing swells, then crashes into the jungles of the Caribbean. With a point of view that shifts from the skies to the earth to the sea, all joined by the purifying but destructive force of nature, HURRICANE shakes up the established order as it brings us light.

"Imagine if Roland Emmerich had directed an episode of STORM CHASERS, and you’ll get a vague idea of what it’s like to sit through HURRICANE, an eye-popping stereoscopic exploration into the heart of a tropical cyclone as it wreaks havoc over several Caribbean islands and parts of the American south. Featuring some of the most startling natural images in recent memory." (The Hollywood Reporter)

Biography: Cyril Barbançon, born in the French Alps in 1971, both director and DoP, has directed a number of wildlife films for ARTE, France 3 and Canal Plus, and several commercials. He travelled across the world with HURRICANE for four years, shooting 3D in the field in the heart of storms.

Andy Byatt is passionate about nature and worked for 19 years for the BBC’s Natural History department where he directed many films, specializing in underwater cinematography.

Jacqueline Farmer is a biologist by training and worked for the BBC World Service. She has directed and produced many films on science and natural history for National Geographic, Discovery, France 2, ARTE; Channel Four, BBC and Radio France. HURRICANE is her first feature.
