THE HOME FRONT

A Short Film by Molly Loughman

Some stories don’t make the paper.  |  This one waited in the walls.

โ€‹The Home Front is a 25-minute narrative drama set in a small town that could be anywhere.

A place with painted porches and buried truths. What begins as a reluctant return for a former journalist quietly unfurls into something deeper—a reckoning with grief, silence, and the stories we carry even when no one’s asking.

โ€‹

This is not just about what was lost. It’s about what never left.

โ€‹1 in every 5 Americans has lost someone to overdose.
(KFF Health Tracking Poll, 2023)


And still, we speak of it in hushed tones—if at all.

What We Carry

โ€‹

Told through the eyes of a woman teetering between past and present, The Home Front is a quiet descent—part mystery, part elegy. Natalie, like a grown-up Alice in Wonderland, falls back through the looking glass of her hometown, only to find the world she left behind more warped and haunting than she remembers.

โ€‹โ€‹

โ€‹

The house is the rabbit hole.
The grief is the fall.
The art is the only clue.
And the poison? It’s everywhere.
โ€‹

โ€‹โ€‹

โ€‹

Shot in the glow of a real New England summer, the film lingers in the spaces people avoid—what’s unsaid, untouched, unfinished. The performances are rooted in restraint and real ache, capturing the kind of grief that doesn’t scream. It just stays.

This isn't a story of how someone died.


It's about what death leaves behind—and what it dares the living to face.

This film is about the stories we inherit, the ones we run from, and the ones we must find the strength to tell.

 

It’s an allegory of memory as a house—each room holding something we’re not ready to face.
