“I was initially inspired to write this story after an arid two years of unemployment. The constant rejection shook my ambition to pursue acting at its core. I made 'Coming Home' as a first dive into the life of an actor who attends a potentially life-changing audition. I portray a character that carries a lot of my neuroses and navigates through events that are based on my personal experience. I felt empowered to take responsibility for whatever happens to me, by turning it into art.”
