No Place Like Home

2006 · 90 min

A drifting, sun-soaked culture clash that gently disorients, mixing wry comedy with a quiet sense of dislocation and self-reckoning.

Overview: When Susan, a film producer from NYC, goes to Jamaica to shoot a shampoo commercial, she finds herself, through a series of unforeseen circumstances, drifting further and further away from the world she knows and into the life of the island, a strange alternative reality that turns many of her previously held assumptions upside down.
