ABOUT
“Home” is a short film that takes us into the chaotic life of a young boy named David who is searching for his sense of belonging amidst all of the change caused by his parents’ divorce. The story demonstrates the DREAMHAUS pillar, “Transition” to show the duality of contradicting home environments while David finds autonomy in one thing that’s consistently reciprocated loyalty and safety—basketball. Through the physical and emotional toll he faces back and forth, the themes of focus and resilience become the true spiritual anchors to centering the narrative of self discovery.
