Touching Home
Logan Miller, Noah Miller 2008
Categories: Narrative Feature Film
Run time: 114 min. | U S A
Touching Home is a coming of age story about a homeless father struggling to make amends with his twin sons as they pursue professional baseball. It is a courageous and honest portrayal of a family fighting to overcome the pain of wasted years and the crushing forces of addiction. When Clint Winston loses his athletic scholarship and Lane Winston is released from the Minor Leagues, the brothers return home and work at a rock quarry with their father, Charlie, an outcast living in his truck in the woods. Alcohol and gambling have stripped Charlie of his dignity, self-respect, and relationship with his sons. The American Dream has left these people far behind and this bitter reality both frustrates and inspires these young men. An homage to the forgotten working class, the film showcases Ed Harris at the height of his powers. Touching Home is the debut feature from producer/writer/directors Logan and Noah Miller. The cast includes Academy Award nominated actors Ed Harris, Brad Dourif, and Robert Forster with Lee Meriwether, Evan Jones, Ishiah Benben, and Logan and Noah Miller.

This movie was great! Noah and Logan were great during the Q and A. I can't wait for the book and the Today Show appearance on April 28! Good luck with the book and film and whatever you do in the future.
