Jeremy Workman's latest film is a great deal of fun. It is the story of how a group artists built a secret apartment in the Providence Place Mall in 2023 and managed to remain there undetected for four years.
The press notes tell the story of how Workman had become friends with Michael Townsend in Greece. They were talking and Michael began to tell the story of how he and his friends had built this apartment in a mall that no one knew about and lived there for four years. Workman was entranced by the tale. However when Michael dropped the bomb that they and filmed the whole thing he knew he had to do something with the story.
Continuing the wonderful run of films about people and stories you may or may not have heard about but should have, director Jeremy Workman brings us another delight. This is a film that is going to change how you look at public spaces. You will end up asking yourself could someone be hiding just outside of view.
Explaining how it happened and why it might never happen again (circumstances collided correctly) the film introduces us to some really fun people and lets us hang out with them as they relive this crazy thing they did. It's a film that will make you talk out loud as you lean in to see what is going to happen next.
I had an absolute blast watching this.
You'll forgive me for not saying too much about what happens, but so much of the delight of the film is seeing the things that happen along the way.
Easily one of the best films at this year's SXSW, it is highly recommended.
