ABOUT THE FILM:

The story of *Take Me Home* follows the journey of a protagonist burdened by the immense pressures of modern society, seeking to escape reality in pursuit of true freedom on the vast plains. However, after encountering various deceptions and illusions in this seemingly idyllic setting, the protagonist has a transformative conversation with a wise local elder. Through this dialogue, they realize that genuine freedom and liberation come from within—learning to coexist with the pressures of a rapidly changing world and facing unknown challenges with a more optimistic and carefree spirit.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:

Ziyi Wang: I was born in Beijing in 2005, and currently a freshman at USC School of Cinematic Arts. Although I was born in the city, I spent much of my childhood living in remote minority regions such as Qinghai and Tibet. Through filmmaking, I aim to explore the dynamics between urban life and nature, as well as the relationship between cities and minority cultures, seeking out the inherent drama and conflict. In my films, I strive to reflect the real world and authenticity, using cinema as a medium to address social issues and truthfully depict the realities of ordinary people.
