Sarasota News Leader November 1, 2013 Page 73 NEW COLLEGE TO SCREEN SHORED UP AND HOST THE DIRECTOR Brian Kalina's documentary, Shored Up, will be screened at New College of Florida at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, the college has announced. Following the presentation of the film, a question-and-answer session will be conducted with Kalina and New College faculty members Frank Alcock and Jono Miller. Kalina had been working for three years on a film about the fragility of oceanfront communities, but he lacked that "hook" — the imagery and statement that would sell the film to an audience, a news release says. "Then superstorm Sandy thrashed the New Jersey shore, flooded Manhattan and sent Kalina back to film the 'after' shots of the places he had already visited," the release continues. The result is Shored Up. Alcock, associate professor of political science, "is an expert in the intersection of government policy and marine science," the release notes. "Miller, the former director of the college's Environmental Studies Program, has studied the region's coastal environment for decades and is active in restoration efforts." The movie will be presented in cooperation with The Union of Concerned Scientists,
