Brooklyn filmmaker, Dawn Scibilia follows young Dubliner, Alan Cooke as he reflects on his recent immigration to New York City in the contemplative and poetic feature film, "Home."

"This is a beautiful film, a visual poem to that most intimate of ideas "home," where the totality of human experiences, like the imperceptibly added layers of a pearl, combine to create, in this wonderful instance, a gem."
Filmmaker, Ken Burns
“Beautifully captures the Irish immigrant's journey through the myth and mystery of New York”
Filmmaker, Jim Sheridan

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


A distributor who believes in "Home"

"A heartfelt and lyrical journey about the meaning of home."
Actor, Gabriel Byrne

NY Daily News, October 30th 2006, RUSH & MOLLOY
New Yorkers packed Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater for a Thursday screening of Dawn Scibilia's "Home," a documentary look at our city with commentary from such famous residents as Woody Allen, Pete Hamill, Susan Sarandon, Fran Lebowitz and restaurant king Drew Nieporent (whose Franklin St. TriBakery is about to morph into Vietnamese eatery Mai House). The stars extol the virtues of city life: "In the countryside, night is like it was when you were a kid," says Lebowitz, "full of ax murderers. In New York, night's just a better day where you don't need your sunglasses" ..

"A personal odyssey around the mystery of New York."
Irish Novelist, Niall Williams

"Home" is a poetic meditation on New York City as a magnet for a kaleidoscope of people. Alan Cooke's voice-over is engaging and personal, conveying the love of an Irishman for his adopted city. Dawn Scibilia's images are lustrous, giving the Big Apple a fresh and vivid look. It's a lovely film."
Annette Insdorf,
Film Scholar, Director of Undergraduate Film Studies, Columbia University

Looking forward to seeing this documentary about one of my favorite directors! david lynch documentary 2007 teaser
