"This Is Not My Beautiful House arose from a few different ideas. First, I wanted to see, how short could a movie be and still pull the rug out from under the audience?

​

"Second, I had written the voice-over heard in the movie almost as a piece of automatic writing, expressing a man’s deepest insecurities. I had originally thought of it as being borderline satirical, as if we might laugh at this figure. But as I started storyboarding the script, I realized this short character study was becoming more tense, more ominous."
