Some of you might remember Tiny: A Story About Living Small.
It’s a tiny house documentary created years ago by Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller.
I posted on it a while back (and even more later- see below) and some of you even helped raise money for them on their Kickstarter fundraiser.
You might already have even seen the movie at a local screening or film festival. But I’m here to announce that the film is now officially available. More on how and where you can watch it below.

I have lived in a 136sq ft tiny house mounted on a cargo trailer of my own design for almost 5 years. really lived the Tiny life.
This so called couple raised the money to build and film with a kickstarter,have never lived in the home(they didn’t like living so far out of town )
they have no plans to live in it. He is on one coast working on another film and she is on the other coast following a different path.
If hypocrisy tickles your fancy by all means admire what they pulled off and buy or rent the flimflam documentary.
if you are looking for true inspiration look at people that actually walk the walk.
truly,
Robert
Well, I guess it is disappointing that they don’t live in the home. But I suppose there is nothing wrong with deciding that a certain lifestyle isn’t for you.
I love tiny homes, but anything smaller than my current 1100 sf isn’t happening with my family of 4. And I like the *idea* of living in the country, remotely, off the land, etc., but truly it isn’t me. (Grew up in the country. I prefer the burbs.)
I guess I can’t fault them for changing their minds.
