Embarking on a narrative of redemption, filmmaker Sean McNamara's upcoming film is poised to captivate audiences with a breakout star from one of the year's most talked-about media moments. The cast of McNamara's drama, "Home," is set to be led by an impressive lineup including Mike Vogel ("Scarpetta"), Alexa PenaVega ("Spy Kids"), Dennis Haysbert ("24"), and Devon Franklin ("Divorced Sistas"). Production has kicked off this week in Vancouver, with plans to shoot through April and May, ahead of its planned Thanksgiving release.
"Home" centers around Johnny J (Vogel), a charming con man who is sentenced to community service. His life takes a turn when he forms a bond with an immigrant child named Gustavo, leading Johnny to risk everything to protect the youngster and create a home for him. The role of Gustavo marks the feature acting debut of Lincoln Fox, the child actor who stole hearts during a much-discussed moment with Bad Bunny during the Super Bowl halftime show, where he received a Grammy Award.
McNamara, known for directing films such as "Soul Surfer," "The King's Daughter," and "Reagan," brings his vision to "Home" from a script penned by Howie Klausner and Dutch Hofstetter Jr. Garrett Backstrom, David Brookwell, and Dutch Hofstetter Sr. serve as producers for Brookwell McNamara Entertainment.
Inspired by the life of George Müller, who guided by his faith, cared for over 10,000 orphans before his death in 1898, "Home" is a story of redemption, belonging, and the unexpected ways we find purpose through other people. "At its core, it's about protecting those who need it most and redefining what family really means," says McNamara.
With its heartwarming narrative and talented cast, "Home" promises to be a cinematic experience that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide.
