on october 30, 2012, one day after hurricane sandy hit the new york region, premo and three friends drove to the red hook initiative and subsequently created occupy sandy after posting a note on inner occupy. sandy storyline, a participatory documentary co-directed by premo, grew out of the occupy sandy relief effort to collect and share stories about the impact of hurricane sandy on neighborhoods, communities and lives. "sandy storyline" won the inaugural transmedia award at the 2013 tribeca film festival.
