Written By Me , it was my first short movie as a screen Writer in 2021 ... And I hope you like it .. Full Movie In Profile The Collyer brothers, Homer and Langley, were two reclusive siblings living in Harlem, New York, whose extreme hoarding turned their home into one of the most infamous cases of compulsive clutter in history. Born into a wealthy family, both were educated and talented—Homer a lawyer and Langley an engineer and pianist—but after their parents’ deaths, they withdrew completely from society. Over the years, Langley obsessively collected newspapers, furniture, scrap metal, and countless random objects, filling the house with maze-like tunnels and dangerous traps meant to keep intruders away. As Homer became blind and paralyzed due to illness, Langley took care of him, rarely leaving the house except at night to gather supplies. Their isolation worsened until the entire mansion became a fortress of debris. In 1947, police discovered Homer dead inside the clutter, and after almost two weeks of searching through tons of hoarded material, they found Langley’s body as well—crushed by one of his own booby traps while trying to reach his brother. Their tragic story became a symbol of extreme hoarding, inspiring the term “Collyer Mansion” to describe dangerously cluttered homes.
