video stills from Dream House

Dream House (2009, DV & Super 8 film,  13 min.) is an experimental documentary about desire, memory and loss. After happening upon a condemned Victorian house, a young couple becomes obsessed with moving in and starting a life there. After unsuccessful attempts to gather information about the property from city agencies, they break into the house only to find a drug-addicted man and woman already living inside, among the abandoned possessions of the house’s former owners. Mutual alarm soon gives way to a shared sense of awe, as the squatters give the young couple a tour of the house.
