DRIFF DAY 3

Shorts Programme: PUSH BACK + Feature Film: TAKE ME HOME + Awards Ceremony and Closing Night Party Shorts Programme: PUSH BACK - Whether fighting city hall, artificial intelligence, or grief, this unique collection of shorts celebrates those who resist. Feature Film synopsis: TAKE ME HOME - Anna, a 38-year-old Korean adoptee, cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting each others’ needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna’s routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world where she can thrive. Liz Sargent’s intimate debut drama examines the shifting demands placed on a unique — and uniquely challenged — family in a Florida suburb. Working with a terrific ensemble, the writer-director details the struggles of Anna (newcomer Anna Sargent, the director’s sister), fellow adopted sibling Emily (Ali Ahn), and devoted father Bob (Victor Slezak), who is covering signs of dementia.
