"Take Me Home" Explores Family Caregiving

Willa has secured the U.S. distribution rights for Liz Sargent's debut feature film, "Take Me Home." This drama, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and screened internationally at Berlinale, centers on Anna, a Korean adoptee in her late thirties. Anna carefully balances caring for her aging parents, one of whom is experiencing dementia.

The narrative unfolds as a Florida heat wave disrupts their lives, pushing Anna to create a supportive environment. Sargent's film, an expansion of her acclaimed short, delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the strains of the American healthcare system. The cast includes Anna Sargent as Anna and Ali Ahn and Victor Slezak as her parents.

Willa is planning a theatrical release for this fall, complemented by an impact campaign in partnership with Caring Across Generations. This initiative aims to engage audiences with the film's themes and support caregivers nationwide. "Take Me Home" previously received a $1 million production prize from Tribeca's AT&T Untold Stories program in 2025.
