Synopsis

Adapted from artist Olivia Erlanger and architect Luis Ortega Govela's 2018 book Garage (MIT Press), this documentary explores the history of the garage, from its invention by Frank Lloyd Wright to its transformation into an incubator for subcultures and tech entrepreneurship.

Filmed on location in California, the film considers the evolution of this architectural turned cultural construct, exploring how the garage has come to serve as guest room, game room, home gym, wine cellar, and secret bondage lair. This provocative deconstruction employs the garage as a lens through which to view the advent of suburbia, the myth of the perfect family, and the degradation of the American dream.
