The Films Will be Released on Netflix on June 30

June 23, 2020 - Netflix today announces HOMEMADE, a collection of short films created by celebrated filmmakers around the world.

I want to thank Netflix as well as all our directors for taking this challenge and proving that, even in such a complicated time, we can all try to move forward on exciting and unbeaten paths".

Juan de Dios Larraín, CEO Fabula: "Homemade is an invitation to a group of directors to explore creativity under the same conditions. It's quite democratic. This is not about resources, this is about the craft of filmmaking".

Pablo Larraín, Director : "Wonderful chance to work with people I admire. And also a very extraordinary chance to keep working, thanks to Netflix and its amazing team, in days so confusing and unique."

This is why, in these unprecedented times, we are humbled to work with this incredible ensemble of diverse filmmakers and to bring their personal stories to our members around the world".
