AuthorViews' George Ingmire Works on Award-Winning Katrina Documentary "Trouble the Water" PDF Print E-mail

AuthorViews would like to congratulate George Ingmire, our Production Manager, for his work on the film Trouble the Water, which just won the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Directed and produced by Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, both of whom worked with Michael Moore on Fahrenheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine, Trouble the Water is a poignant documentary about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. The film includes real video footage of the storm shot by Kimberly Rivers Roberts, a resident of the 9th ward who was unable to evacuate.

Ingmire, with 10 years of video production experience, is in charge of sound and camera on AuthorViews shoots, as well as editing and cutting all footage. He was approached in early 2006 to work as the sound recorder for Trouble the Water and he accepted the job whole-heartedly.

A resident of New Orleans for the past 15 years, Ingmire evacuated to Virgina during Katrina and returned to the Crescent City in October 2005. Since the storm, Ingmire has devoted a great deal of his work to telling the story of Katrina. He has worked on several Katrina films, including Spike Lee's HBO documentary, When the Levees Broke, which won 3 Primetime Emmys in 2007.

When asked his thoughts on Trouble the Water, Ingmire replied, "Of all the Katrina documentaries I've worked on, this film came closest to telling the real story."
