Three Reel FilmsThe Storm Chasing Anthology, Volume One: A 67-minute condensed visual history of storm chasing and severe weather research culture told through the words and imagery of storm chasers and meteorologists across North America.
Independently produced over a two-year period by Blake Naftel, a visual journalist and severe weather historian who traveled through 35-states and Ontario, Canada interviewing 112 individual meteorologists, storm chasers, and relatives of weather enthusiasts on a broad range of topics specific to storm chasing and extreme weather. This program presents a variety of topics, opinions and personal recollections from a mix of ages and individuals from 1950's until 2015.
The production was funded entirely by crowd-sourcing campaigns on Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, private donations and family support. This project was originally intended as a multi-part series, rather than a single production. Multimedia was provided by project participants, members of the storm chasing and meteorology community, and the producers' own archive chronicling severe weather and the people that pursue it.
