The Story
.jpg)
Logline
With no one left to turn to, a young woman writes to her estranged father, asking to come home.
Synopsis
Through reckless decision-making, Ashley finds herself empty and alone after distancing herself from her father, Jim. Gripped with guilt and fear of how he might respond, she writes to her father asking to return home. However, when the truth finally comes out, she's met with a response that changes everything.

"Distance from you made it easy for me to forget about the things that used to matter to me."
The Characters
Ashley - A young woman navigating the grief of losing her mother. Angry, hurt, and isolated from her father, she finds ways to distract herself from pain
Jim - A father navigating the grief of losing his wife. Steady, constant, and kind, he supports his daughter.

"You don't have to do it on your own"
The Themes
Come Home touches on themes of radical forgiveness, relational healing, and my personal journey of faith. My life was forever changed through my personal relationship with my Heavenly Father, and I wish to share a story of hope, life, and truth through the relational drama, Come Home.
Why Support Come Home?
As a student filmmaker, this project is made entirely possible by you—people who believe in seeing quality films on the screen. By supporting student filmmakers, you are supporting the next generation of movie-makers! My goal in this film is to share the hope I've found in Jesus to those who need it, to encourage watchers that we were created on purpose and for a purpose, and to remind audiences that we were never meant to do life alone!

About This Team
I am a junior at the University of Central Florida pursuing a BFA in Narrative Film Production. Having worked in the Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, and Los Angeles film industries as an actress over the past seven years, I have fallen in love with the process of filmmaking. Being able to create surrounded by creatives is truly a blessing! While studying at UCF, I have expanded my creative skill sets not only as an actress but as a writer, director, and production designer! The Come Home team is a talented group of Florida film students and recent film graduates. This film would not be the same without them!
