ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTARY

While California recovers from the worst drought in state history, a myriad of impacts resulting from climate change threaten Southern California’s imported water supply.

As a shadow of drought hangs over the region, this documentary explores the dire consequences of inaction that lie ahead.

#FlashbackFriday to our premiere screening in Ojai at the 2017 @ojaifilmfest. Unfortunately, the town of Ojai continues to feel repercussions from ongoing drought conditions.⠀ Glad to hear recently that our film continues to spread awareness in the community with organizations like the @ojaivalleygreencoalition and the @ojaivalleylandconservancy! ⠀ 🎬💧🙌🏼⠀ #droughtfilm #shadowofdrought #ojai
It’s National Plan for Vacation Day— are you visiting the water soon? 💧❄️ Our relationship with water extends beyond just survival- we even plan vacations around where the lakes, rivers, and oceans are! Can anyone guess this lake along the Sacramento River? . . . #visitthewater #watershed #lake #waterrecreation #northerncalifornia #getoutside #nature #nationalplanforvacationday
Our film’s iconic image and poster went through many stages before we reached the amazing final rendition you see today. Here’s one of the first concept drawings. Thanks to the artistry of painter @darciestarseed for her beautiful work! 🎨👩🏼‍🎨 #flashbackfriday #art #movieposter #filmmaking #droughtfilm #artist #drawing #painter #conceptart #waterdrop
It doesn’t have to be all work and no play during production! 🤓 A little behind the scenes from our shoot with San Diego Coastkeeper Matt O’Malley at the San Diego River in July 2016. #behindthescenes #filmmaking #production #setlife #documentary #filmmaker
Although this number is shifting based on new conservation practices, regions like San Diego still rely heavily on imported water. What New Year’s resolutions should we consider to help reduce our water use? 💧🤔💧 #savewater #conservation #cawater #importedwater #recycledwater #sandiegowater #newyeargoals
The first snow survey in California for 2019 was conducted yesterday and the results are in.❄️ . . According to @cadepartmentofwaterresources the survey recorded 25.5 inches of snow depth and a water equivalent of 9 inches— about 80% of average snowpack. . Across the state, however, the snowpack in the Sierra range is about 67% of average. DWR Climatologist Michael Anderson said this: “About two-thirds of California’s annual rainfall occurs Dec. through March. Total precipitation so far this water year, which began October 1st, has been below average.” 💧💧💧 #cawater #cawx #drought #droughtfilm #climatechange

#FlashbackFriday to our shoot at Wild Willow Farms captured in April 2016. Although Mel’s interview didn’t end up making the cut for the film, we certainly gained a lot of great insight about healthy farming practices that save water. 💧👨‍🌾 Learn more about @wildwillowfarm at sandiegoroots.org
