What: After “Mina” (Yaz Canli), a gifted artist experiencing homelessness, loses the last thing she loves, her adorable dog “Burrito,” she is forced to battle through the downward spiraling journey of a mental health crisis to find HOME. Lost between fragments of her Muslim past and harsh realities of her present—from substance abuse and the loss of faith to abusive voices in her head—Mina must find a way to reconcile with deep grief and accept the kindness of others so she can start life anew. A raw and unflinching story of mental illness, life on the streets and the courage it takes to find a way home. “My Home Unknown” is the feature directorial debut of filmmaker and star, Yaz Canli, who is also writer. Executive producers include Lawrence Kasanoff (“Mortal Kombat” franchise) and Grammy and Oscar winner Jimmy Ienner, and producer is Diane Foster, founder of Wallybird Productions. Music is by Michael Lloyd of “Dirty Dancing” fame.
