Home (2025) Drama Short Film | MYM

The word home evokes a sense of belonging, a place where one can feel safe and seek shelter from life’s storm but for a multitude of people all over the world, it is instead a place rife with trauma, painful memories and hurt. This type of unsettling upbringing and the knock on effects that reverberate through future life is something filmmaker Luke Brookner, co-founder of production house Sticker Studios and King Simpson, Creative Writer and Musician knows all too well and wanted to explore in the short Home. Centred around a young man desperately grappling with his younger life, Brookner moves between past and present with a fluidity and ease reflecting the overwhelming chaos and confusion coursing through his protagonist as he tries to separate the man he is now from the young boy he hasn’t yet left behind. Home is a tender and authentic exploration of how we define ourselves based on our past and the incredible strength it takes to move on to live for the future. As the film premieres on the pages of DN, Brookner speaks to us about the intense collaborative script writing process, how he visualised the fragmented nature of repressed memories and using different film stock to embody the past and present.
