Tiny: A Story About Living Small

With no building experience, no tools, no blueprints, and no materials, Christopher Smith and his friend Merete set out to build a small little tiny (oops, must use correct term every time) house. Intermixed with their progress are interviews with others who live in and build such homes, usually 200 square feet or less. The film seems condescending at times to those who choose to live in more space - even to me in my 1000 square foot "mansion" - but I don't think that's intentional and it passes.

Meanwhile, they hope to inspire ecological- and soul-enriching movements towards living living for time rather than money, including with another kickstarter scheduled to start soon. I wish them both the best of luck.
