Our team at Brick Creative, in partnership with is incredibly proud to premiere our latest documentary: Hunks vs. The Hurricanes. The powerful story of resilience, leadership, and community.
When Tampa was struck by back to back hurricanes, local teams like stepped up in a major way. Clearing debris, delivering supplies, and helping rebuild lives. What started with a single call from Mayor became a citywide movement powered by compassion and hustle.
This film is more than a disaster response doc, it’s a tribute to the strength of Tampa and the people who refused to back down.
Huge thanks to and all who helped bring this vision to life.
The storm came. Tampa answered.
