Closer to Home, also known by the working title Looking for America, is a 1995 American independent drama film directed by Joseph Nobile. It was screened in thirty international film festivals including the 41st Valladolid International Film Festival and the 31st Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

It follows the story of Dalisay, a poor provincial girl who struggles to journey from the Philippine countryside to New York City to marry Dean, a disillusioned American ex-merchant marine. She's hoping to buy a cure for her dying sister and ultimately a future for her debt-ridden family, while he hopes to escape his disintegrating American family through love and a family of his own.
