Living Small – A Tiny House Documentary

As part of my continued education about tiny houses, I sat down a week ago on a rare night at home, pulled out a paintbrush, and set to work on my jacket while watching this video.  It’s a documentary by Stephen Hewitt that runs just under an hour and documents the creation of two tiny houses, one by students at Yestermorrow and one by a couple from Northeastern University, and interviews with several other tiny house builders and enthusiasts.

The documentary sets its tiny stage with this quote:

“Somewhere along the line the American Dream became defined by owning more stuff than your neighbor.  Is that the new truth?  Do we need a bigger house or a better car to find happiness?  Does it come about when we sacrifice dreams for the pursuit of stuff?” – Andrew Odom

The rest, you’ll have to watch for yourself:
