Eight artist friends secretly construct a hidden apartment in a luxury mall as a defiant protest against gentrification, living undetected for four years until mall security unravels their rebellious utopia.

SYNOPSIS:

Elevator Pitch:

"Picture this: eight artist friends in the early 2000s sneak into a luxury Rhode Island mall and build a secret apartment—complete with a sofa, PlayStation, and waffle maker—as a middle finger to gentrification. For four years, they live undetected, turning a hidden corridor into a creative hideout, until mall security catches on. Mall is a quirky, nostalgic dramedy about rebellion, friendship, and the thrill of getting away with it—until you don’t."
