Learn more- Haven is the story of a woman leaving her insular community to find her own voice.
When Lana shows up at the Haven and meets Brint, Willa and the Family, she falls in love with their generosity, healing spirits, and indelible commitment to truthful art. Deeply attracted to the group's dedication to the craft and to each other, Lana becomes a true devotee, living by the group's strict guidelines and isolating herself from the "capitalist corruption of truth" as she seeks the ultimate artistic goal: finding her Voice. But as the months tick by and new Family members arrive, Lana begins to lose control as she experiences nightmares nearly every night. Meanwhile, she begins to reckon with the hypocrisy of the world she inhabits: openness through exclusion, rehabilitation through addiction, care through abuse. And even as Lana is haunted by her world before arriving the Haven, she must make a decision; either she can work toward finding her Voice among the Family, or she can remedy her hauntings and risk losing everything she's learned.
The script engages in the everyday contradictions. So often, we preach openness and inclusion, but we're quick to exclude those with different opinions and backgrounds, even if it's for what we find to be a valid reason. We want to create free art, but we want to get paid doing it. We seek a sense of community, but we want the freedom to individualize. The characters follow these contradictions, too, existing as relatable and recognizable until they are inverted: the doting boyfriend becomes the key manipulator, the maternal overseer becomes the willfully ignorant. As the story illuminates, these hypocrisies exist everywhere we look, especially in ourselves.
