Overview
"The Home Front is an emotionally thought-provoking 25-minute short film that delves into the intricacies of small-town life and the hidden darkness that lies beneath its picturesque facade. Journalist Natalie Cruz is summoned back to her quaint New England hometown, tasked with unraveling the enigmatic layers of a serene lakeside community, Natalie must navigate the complexities of trust and betrayal as she seeks to unearth long-buried secrets. The film explores themes of grief, resilience, and the delicate balance between curiosity and shame that permeates the fabric of rural life. Set against the backdrop of a bucolic landscape, The Home Front weaves together a gripping narrative that challenges perceptions and confronts uncomfortable truths. Through its nuanced portrayal of human relationships and societal expectations, the film invites audiences to contemplate the complexities of morality and the consequences of confronting the darkness that resides within us all." -- Abstract
