Set against the backdrop of the 2008 economic crisis, Omaha follows a struggling father 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 family journey gradually uncovers deeper layers of grief and resilience, as Ella starts to sense that her father's intentions may be masking a more profound truth.

Omaha, the feature directorial debut of Cole Webley, premiered to critical acclaim at this year's Sundance Film Festival. An intimate and moving family drama, the film centers on a shining performance by John Magaro, capturing the desperation of a father trying to keep his family together.
