When a woman’s infatuation with a beautiful Brooklyn brownstone turns obsessive, she begins a relationship with its tenant in order to be closer to it; as the human relationship dissolves, and Sam fears losing the love of her life — The House— she resolves to do whatever it takes to hold onto it.

ABOUT the film

olivia jampol (writer/director)

director’s statement

As a filmmaker, I’m drawn to dark, genre-blurring narratives that push against the boundaries of horror, psychological thriller, and dark comedy. Provocative, yet absurdist, I want to explore the depths of human desire and obsession through unapologetically complex female protagonists. Subtle introductions of the surreal blur the line between reality and fantasy, upending narrative expectations in often funny and unsettling ways.
