Trailer for the Indie Film HOMECOMING with Brea Grant
Here's the trailer to a solid looking new film called Homecoming from first time director Sean Hackett. The film stars Brea Grant (Heroes) who plays a character name Estelle, a young Army medic who is on leave in her home town. The movie seems to give a more realistic look at what it's like for a soldier to come home after being in a war. I have friends who have come back from being in war, and it looks like this movie captures what they go through, instead of some of the other overly dramatic films that have come out based on this same concept. This movie looks a bit more laid back.
The movie has gotten some solidly good reviews, and taking home prizes at film festivals over the past few months. If you want to see the film in your area make to demand it! campaign. Here are some reviews that were listed on the Vimeo page.
