From Executive Producer Jesse Eisenberg (VIVARIUM CIFF2019, THE HUMMING BIRD PROJECT CIFF2018) and director Jeremy Workman (THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR FEET), SECRET MALL APARTMENT wowed multiple sold-out audiences when it world premiered at SXSW earlier this year.

In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity, and even constructed a wall, smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a clubhouse to coordinate artistic charity, and finally, a 750 square foot "F you" to The Man.
