New York, NY, 2025 - October 14, 2025 - Liz Sargent's feature debut Take Me Home today announced a stellar cast comprised of Anna Sargent (Liz Sargents own 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).

I'm excited to work with these incredible actors, who are approaching this process with an open mind and a deep respect for my sister Anna, says writer and director Liz Sargent. When I cast, I'm looking for something deeply human-a personal connection that goes beyond character. It's an honor to have this cast share a piece of themselves into my familys intimate and vulnerable story.

Take Me Home tells the story of Anna, a 38-year-old Korean adoptee with a cognitive disability. Anna cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting each others' needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna's routine, her future becomes uncertain - until she creates a world where she can thrive.

Liz Sargent won the eighth annual AT&T Untold Stories Pitch at the 2025 Tribeca Festival with Take Me Home, which wrapped shooting in Florida this September. The feature is adapted from a proof-of-concept short of the same name, also starring Anna Sargent, which premiered at Sundance in 2023, won the Grand Jury Prize at 2024s American Cinematheques PROOF Film Festival, and was the centerpiece at the White House's celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Olmstead Act. As part of the AT&T Untold Stories program, the feature is set to premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival.

The film is produced by Apoorva Guru Charan (Joyland), and Minos Papas (Motherwitch) under the helm of Cyprian Films New York and All Caps. Executive Producers include Ai-jen Poo & Lydia Storie for Caring Across Generations, Jane Shin Park, Andrew Kim, Philipp Engelhorn & Candice Sanchez McFarlane for Cinereach, Bill Pohlad & Kelly Martin for River Road, and former Academy President Janet Yang.

Victor Slezak is represented by Artists & Representatives and Wright Entertainment; Ali Ahn by Gersh Agency and ATA Management; Marceline Hugot by SMS Talent; and Shane Harper by Gersh Agency and Luber Roklin Entertainment.
