Aidan Bloom may look like he's got a lot going for him on the outside, in his prime at 35 with a beautiful wife and two loving children named Grace and Tucker, but the truth is he's floundering. He dreams of being an actor, but that's not a job you can guarantee stability from and thus he no longer has enough money to send his kids to a private school - even with the full to bursting swear jar. He decides to home tutor them after deciding against public school, and soon discovers that he's not the only one in his life who is having problems. With his father having his own issues and his daughter feeling deep regret after cutting off her hair, he starts to realise that he might have to save his family before he himself can be saved.

'Wish I Was Here' is a touching comedy drama from actor and director Zach Braff ('Night Life', 'Garden State') who co-wrote the script with his brother Adam J. Braff ('Night Life'). He raised funds to produce the movie through a hugely popular Kickstarter campaign which was pledged over a $1 million more than the original goal. The movie is due for UK release on September 19th 2014.
