Experiencing Interruptions?

There's No Place Like Home

Joe, is an average boy. He isn't smart, funny or attractive. He lives in a comfortable in-between thanks to a long lasting relationship, however, when she breaks up with him he begins to realise how empty his life truly is. This loneliness manifests itself and causes him to become both a shut in, and agoraphobic. This film explores the ideas of responsibility for our own mistakes, loneliness and going forward into the unknown.

Director Statement

I aim to make films that not only exceed what is expected of both a student and a filmmaker, but to create a film that I, as a filmgoer, would love to see. That's my aim, and that should be every filmmakers aim. To create something so good, that you yourself would want to see it.
