The air-to-water systems work like air conditioners by using coils to chill air, then collect water drops in a basin. “Our motto is, water from air isn’t magic, it’s science, and that’s really what we’re doing with these machines," said Ted Bowman, design engineer at Washington state-based Tsunami Products.

Seeking to welcome back the film and print industry, city officials today announced the availability of up to $10,000 in COVID-19 relief grants for film and print projects that shine a spotlight on the resort island. “Despite the challenges the film and print industries have faced as a result of the pandemic, many have continued to work, employ and invest in Miami Beach,” Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales shared.

Applicants will be able to apply for a one-time grant, of up to $10,000, to mitigate the costs of adhering to new COVID-19 safety and sanitation guidelines for permitted film and print activations taking place in Miami Beach between June 8, 2020 and Dec. 20, 2020.
