Secret Mall Apartment
Let's all live at the mall.
Directed by Jeremy Workman
Produced by Wheelhouse Creative, Wildbrush Media
A playful, intimate documentary about eight friends who created an unconventional sanctuary inside a mall, blending art, community, and the search for belonging in an unexpected place.
In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside a busy mall and lived there for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than a prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all involved.
