Set against the backdrop of the 2008 economic crisis, Omaha follows a struggling father (John Magaro) who embarks on a road trip across the American West with his two children, Ella and Charlie, in search of hope and a better life. What begins as a seemingly spontaneous journey gradually reveals deeper layers of grief and resilience, as Ella starts to sense that her father’s intentions may be masking a more profound truth. At its heart, Omaha is a story about fatherhood. Director Cole Webley, in his feature debut, captures the journey of a father who loves his children, but is uncertain about how to navigate the challenges they face. The film explores love, responsibility, and the search for meaning in hardship. World Premiere at Sundance 2025.
