Edmonton 2011, HD 11:55
Without possessions and home, the young vagabond Bo is
drifting along: from the big city to the desert and the jungle. She uses what
others throw away, and with a touch of magic, she overcomes the obstacles in
her way to find a true home. Intriguing silhouette imagery and an exciting
soundtrack make Finding Home a cinematic delight to watch!
A longer version of this film has been invited to film
festivals in Calgary, los Angeles, Yorkton, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Colombo, Shanghai
and more.
