Director Chris Neal explores what it's like to be a self-imposed exile in this two-minute passion project.
Shot in a single evening in Phonix, Arizona, the director was inspired by The Prodigal God, written by Tim Keller, in which Jesus's parable of the lost son is discussed. Further inspiration was drawn from the philosopher Kierkegaard and his idea which states that we are all existentially homeless or 'searching for a home.'
The film is a haunting exploration of the meaning of home, which Neal not only directed, but also wrote, edited and scored.
