The 2025 Tribeca Festival ATT Untold Stories winner, Liz Sargents debut feature Take Me Home, has set its cast and completed filming ahead of a 2026 Tribeca Festival premiere.
The movies cast consists of Anna Sargent (writer-director Liz Sargents sister), Victor Slezak (Hell on Wheels, The Order, Babygirl), Ali Ahn (Agatha All Along, The Diplomat, The Other Two), Marceline Hugot (Gilded Age, Black Mirror, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Shane Harper (Power Book IV: Force, Hightown, A Teacher).
The movie, which wrapped shooting last month in Florida, is based on a proof-of-concept short of the same name, also starring Anna Sargent, that premiered at Sundance in 2023, won the Grand Jury Prize at 2024s American Cinematheques PROOF Film Festival and was the centerpiece at the White Houses celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Olmstead Act.

When a Florida heatwave shatters their routine, Annas future becomes uncertain until she creates a thriving world of her own.
Im excited to work with these incredible actors, who are approaching this process with an open
mind and a deep respect for my sister Anna, writer-director Liz Sargent said in a statement. When I
cast, Im looking for something deeply human a personal connection that goes beyond character. Its an honor to have this cast share a piece of themselves into my familys intimate and vulnerable story.
