| Close to Home |
Close to Home follows the story of a father broken from the loss of his son, and a daughter waiting for the father that she once had. Through his passionate advocacy to find the murderer of his son, Luis Marquez has lost sight of his family. Along with the brutal loss of a son, the Marquez family now suffers the absence of a father. Close to Home employs a haunting score, combined with striking black and white imagery to frame this story of a man trying to become the father he has always wanted to be.
