Video: Healing and Rebuilding in Ocean City

Patch reader John Thornton makes a film about contractor Jeffrey Holloway and healing after the record flooding of Sandy.

South-end resident John Thornton, a teacher at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, passed along a link to his latest creation: a short film about his friend Jeffrey Holloway, who appeared recently on the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer with a story headlined the "Grueling Road Back."

In the film, Holloway, who is a home remodeler, talks about what it will take for Ocean City to heal from the devastation of the recent storm Sandy.

Holloway has filmed a series of his own videos as a public service: on working with contractors, insurance agents and reconstructing after the storm. See Jeffrey Holloway's videos.
