THIS MUST BE THE PLACE

There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films that explore the idea of home; what makes them, how they represent us, why we need them.

We're always on the lookout for dwellings of all sorts. If you've come across any curious or eccentric homes, feel free to send them along.

    Very well done, and beautiful cinematography. Thank you for NOT grading it to a mushy green tint that seems to be so prevalent with some on this site. I have visited his website, and he is not quite the minimalist I thought he was. I personally like the isolation, but not the cramped quarters. Interesting story and well presented. Thanks for posting.

    Wow! Great story there, allows us all to reflect on our own daily busy lives while having a look at his life which is certainly busy but in its own way. Also very natural looking colors and great breathing room in this piece. featured at donslens.tumblr.com
