Interesting facts

Omaha is a 2025 American drama film directed by Cole Webley from a screenplay by Robert Machoian. The film stars John Magaro as a father who takes his two children on a cross-country trip after a family tragedy. It is produced by Preston Lee.

Production

Omaha screenwriter Robert Machoian, a Brigham Young University professor of photography, first conceived the idea for the script in 2008. He submitted it to a Sundance Film Festival screenwriter's lab in 2013, but it was rejected. Machoian later premiered his feature film, The Killing of Two Lovers, at the 2020 edition of the festival.

Cole Webley made his feature directorial debut with the film. He became involved with the project after he met Machoian at Sundance and read the screenplay.

Production formally began in 2022 after Webley joined the project. Its filming schedule included 20 days in Utah, where scenes were shot in historic mining towns and the state's salt flats.
