Secret Mall Apartment

In 2003, a unique and audacious social experiment began to unfold within the confines of a bustling Rhode Island mall. Eight adventurous Rhode Islanders took the leap to create a hidden apartment nestled amidst the retail chaos. This clandestine living space wasn't just a whimsical prank; it served as a sanctuary for the group, providing a backdrop for genuine human connection and creativity. Over the course of four years, the participants documented their experiences, capturing the highs and lows of living in secret, and forging a tapestry of memories that transcended their initial intentions.

As the group navigated the challenges of cohabitation in such close quarters, they discovered the power of community and the significance of shared experiences. The secret apartment became a microcosm of life outside the mall's walls, reflecting the complexities and nuances of individual personalities clashing and blending together in a way that was both entertaining and poignant. Relationships deepened, conflicts arose, and laughter echoed through the hidden corners of their unconventional home, making it a rich narrative of life’s unpredictability.

The documentary-style film chronicles not just the daily routines and quirky antics of the residents but also leads viewers to ponder broader themes of freedom, identity, and the lengths people will go to carve out a personal space in a world that often feels overwhelming. Featuring interviews with the participants, including Michael Townsend and Colin Bliss, viewers are offered an intimate look at how this secretive endeavor changed their lives and perspectives, ultimately making the secret mall apartment a place of profound significance, rather than mere folly.
