Today I watched a short little ditty called "This is my Home", which I found randomly someplace online.
The film follows eccentric New Yorker Anthony Pisano who lives in what looks like an impressively sized antique store. Actually it's just his house, filled to the brim with the odds and ends that he has collected over the years. For reasons unexplained, he likes to sit outside his apartment in the hopes that strangers will walk by and want to look around his place. Once he's explained that nothing's for sale, he tends to strike up conversations with the non-customer, and enjoys their company.
Pisano seems like a cute, funny, quirky old man who wants more than anything someone to talk to. He's probably realized that a life of collecting objects isn't nearly as satisfying as collecting friendships and relationships, so maybe he's looking to make up for lost time by welcoming strangers into his home.
It's an interesting look on what the things we own say about us.
It's on vimeo right now:
