Kirsten Dirksen has been producing short films for some time now, but this feature length film really highlights some of her best content. Dirksen invites us into a world where people live smaller and happier lives. The film has excellent cinematography, and an eclectic variety of music. All of this combines to transport the viewer to another world. The tiny house community is interesting for many reasons. It brings out our primal urge to live simpler lives, and inspires us to live more creative lives. I highly recommend viewing this documentary. It will help change the way you look at your home. I look forward to seeing a lot more from Dirksen.
