'CLOSER TO HOME'
At What Price Family?
Now Available on DVD
A critically acclaimed film featured in over 26 international film festivals in 16 countries...
"A fine debut. Another Green Card Romance, but this time, the broader canvas--in both the Philippines and the US--gives the story a wider emotional range and a near epic feel." (3 of 4 stars)-Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"...a creative and rewarding juxtaposition of two cultures, two families and two interesting individuals...a new look at the Filipino-American relationship..." Nestor U. Torre, Philippine Daily Inquirer
"This strong, effective social drama cross-cuts between the cultures of the Philippines (richly observed) and the United States (as the empire downsizes) to give a recognizable if not always heartening portrait of the complexities of contemporaneous world relationships that evolve 'when strangers meet'." -Hawaii International Film Festival
"...an epic, enthralling tale..." -Virginia Film Festival
"...so beautifully, so convincingly and honestly presented one cannot help but be touched"--Ethel Ramos, Malaya
"...wholesome, intelligent film for the discriminating Filipino audience...we can see ourselves in the eyes of an American who loves us."--Billy Balbastro, Abante
"...bound to make heads turn and touch a lot of Filipino hearts..." -Ricky Lo, The Philippine Star
Below is a short synopsis:
Joseph Nobile's Closer to Home weaves a universal, haunting tale of two people inexorably drawn together for vastly different reasons. Dalisay struggles to journey from the Philippine countryside to New York City to marry Dean, a disillusioned ex-merchant marine. She's hoping to buy a cure for her dying sister and, ultimately, a future for her debt-ridden family, while he hopes to escape his disintegrating American family through love and a family of his own. A powerful, controversial film that quietly builds to a shattering collision of aspirations and cultures.
