MY FLORIDA HOME (2019)
|
10 mins. Drama.
Writer/Director - Matt Herbertz Editor - Ross Morin |
An estranged daughter returns home to confront her elderly mother's caregiver.
My Florida Home is a female driven film about guilt, redemption, and what it means to be unable to reconcile the past. From a formal perspective, this film attempts to compress and disorient space to place the audience within Andrea's psyche.
In addition, this film explores the themes of emotional and physical abuse from those we love the most. Themes that speak to me on a very personal level. We all desire to be loved, to be cared for, and to find connection. My Florida Home investigates what it means to confront some of these repressed emotions and how we deal with being unable to find closure. The film asks audiences to question the way in which we deal with and move on from past traumas in our lives. Will we repeat the destructive cycle of our past or pave a new, more positive life for ourselves and those around us?
