Toronto, Ontario Sep 25, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Accerts Productions proudly announces that Home(sick) - A Journey Within, the debut feature by filmmaker Raúl E. Peyret, has been honored with two top awards at the prestigious Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF): Best First Feature – International and Best Director (Thriller/Drama).
Written, directed, and produced by Peyret, Home(sick) is a poignant drama exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the meaning of “home.” The film stars Raúl E. Peyret as Alex, an Argentinian expatriate searching for connection, and AJ Amber in a breakout role as Felix, an artist whose unconventional perspective challenges Alex’s understanding of himself and his place in the world.
“These awards are a tremendous honor,” said Peyret. “Home(sick) was created to reflect the universal search for identity and belonging. To see it resonate with international audiences and juries at TINFF is both humbling and inspiring.”
Celebrating global cinema and diverse voices, the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival has become a significant platform for independent filmmakers worldwide. With these wins, Home(sick) further cements its place as one of the year’s standout independent features, marking a promising beginning for Peyret’s directorial career.
