The Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) has announced a grant in partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation to fully fund Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman’s (pictured) documentary This Time Next Year.

The film charts the resilience of residents in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, in the wake of the devastating storm that smashed into the East Coast in late 2012.

The initiative marks the first film collaboration between TFI and The Rockefeller Foundation and the first time TFI has fully funded a project.

The grant will provide the filmmakers with support early in the creative process and help promote social action around the rebuilding through digital and education initiatives.
