I stumbled into the small House Movement by chance of location- my mom and dad live within miles of the tiny house poster boy jay shafer and his 89 sq. foot home-, but also within a few years I had come to be part of it as one of the few, and maybe solely, videographers documenting small shelters all the time. When I first interviewed Shafer, he was one in every of only a handful of “Tiny House People” noticeable to the press. In the previous three years I've helped turn a handful of inhabitants of small shelters into micro-celebrities (presently, 5 of my tiny home movies have over 1 million views; a couple have greater than three million).
After filming heaps of hours of tape, I'm now telling my variation on the tiny house story in the forth-coming documentary We the Tiny House People (Release date: April 23, 2012). I am reluctant to say there's some type of magic in small abodes- I am certain some persons are watching merely for the “house porn” (as Shafer explains it)-, nevertheless it's apparent these stripped-down shelters reveal for us the essence of home, and for many, make it a bit simpler to “suck the marrow out of life”.

I love tiny houses.
“We the Tiny House People”: documentary trailer
The simple life!
Maybe parents should give their kids sheets of plywood for their allowance
instead of cash.
Fear not the future, adjust and create.
Pretty Interesting video about people that have realized all the really
need in life.
she sounded like Sarah Connor from Terminator 2 in the beginning
This is amazing.
Never…NEVER…underestimate the human spirit!
Beautiful, inspiring ingenuity! I guess my 575 sq. ft apt. is PLENTY. Need
to step up my interior design skills, that’s all!:) Thanks for sharing,
kirstendirksen!–I’m going to continue the share of awareness of this
wonderful eco -modest living on my you tube channel and facebook —and now
I would like to watch the entire film too!
Incredible, I hire a house with some friends and have the smallest room,
and I understand these people perfectly, a small space feels a lot more
cosier than a bigger one. But you have to give everything it’s place or
else it becomes a terrible mess. Good luck with your work.
“We the Tiny House People” trailer
Dam, 3hours later, I should of just watch this one 1st.lol but I learned a
lot so far. I use to live in a 3bedroom house however hated it. When I
lived in a 1bedroom apartment with a roommate, I loved it. It was about
300sq feet. I had the room and he had the living room. So my living space
was about 80 sq. feet….and I was happy. I had to get rid of a garage full
of things along with 3bedroom things…..
Odds and ends like dressers and clothes. I didn’t have a closet, so I used
a night stand. Lol I miss those times. Now I live in a 7 by 8 room in a
house….Ahhgg. For some reason I really dis like living in a house. I’m
thinking about living in a house boat. I was in one for a day and felt like
it was home for once. Love these videos.
how much one of those Tiny house cost?
genial 🙂 ce altceva ai mai avea nevoie 🙂
The American ones are quaint, but the European ones are awsome!
Climbing up and down steps or ladders is OK for young people only!
I realize this is a “late reply” but I wanted to tell you I watched the doc
and the sound issue I described in the trailer was no longer there. Good
job, glad the feedback was helpful.
can I get a link to the song they play (tame me down the rabbit ho9le)..
that is if it is a song outside the video
..watching longer I think it is just music for the video which is a same it
could be a good sound track
There’s a link in the text to the musician’s website (Dave Warstler).
Great video and story, but I had to stop the last couple of minutes because
the song made me want to pull my hair out. The rabbit hole song was great
tho.
thank you I had not seen that 😀 I really like that song and all the others
by that artist
Around 5:08 coolest house ever
I got here from looking at tiny house plans for minecraft -_-
THANK YOU, I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE O_O
But you cant have a orgy in one if those
I am impressed how you can leave in such a small house
Looks like convenient. when you what to change the view just move the house
🙂
I want a tiny house in my backyard
4:30 I LOVE that bed.
D wow Annabella ! Fanclub !
I really don’t think McMansions are just a fad. They’re what everybody
lives in around here, and they’re still building them.
I guess I’m still really confused. If you’re doing this so you can own a
home, for cheap I still have questions: Where do you park/build one of
these? (I can only imagine renting a lot or something and that kind of
defeats the purpose yah?) Once you find a place to park, how does one
shower, flush a toilet, cook, wash dishes (water access issues)? What about
electricity? and or internet? And mail (more specifically.. the few bills
one would have left)?
what’s the name of the song at 7:40?
there is a site that is called tinyhouselistings . com and i have seen
houses that has everything inside like the bigger houses and they are like
mini versions of these houses.some houses come with land.you can find lands
for cheap anywhere…
there are permanent houses and house on wheels with all the stuff you
mention.i have seen cool ones at 5k something.there is a house i want at
the site i mention that even has a better washroom than mine.the house is
on wheels and it is just like a regular house.sadly i dont have money to
buy as yet…
narrator sounds like sarah conner
A lot of the small apartments in this video are what people in britain
would call bedsits (a room with everything in)
i have said in my cousin apartment in new york it is so small that i had to
sleep on the couch and the bathroom is so small that i kept banging my head
a lot on the wall
thanks.
thanks.
My house is 32 square feet. Just kidding
My house is a bathroom. I can eat, watch tv, answer the phone, make love,
play chess and sleep while I take a crap. LOVE IT
I wonder how much it costs to buy one
It’s sad to see how much these people wasted on these stupid trailers while
they’ve could of spent less on a better one.
missing the point there bud
what point? That people actually like to pay 46k to 50k on crap home
trailers, while you can actually get a brand new luxury fifth wheel with
washer/dryer, a big kitchen with a residential size refrigerator and a
generator. Wow, people are stupid which is typical for what I’ve seen since
my faith in humanity was lost several years ago when I first experienced
youtube.
I really loved your video. I built a 11 by 12 tiny home on my property on a
hill. It is 13 feet high with a small loft bed. I didn’t use as much
recycled materials as I would have liked, but did use some. The total cost
was about 2500 dollars. It is fully insulated and takes about 20 minutes to
raise the temperature 10 degrees with a tiny little electric heater. I use
the tiny house as an art studio. Thanks again for putting together such a
good video.
kirsten i can totally picture this film being shown in art theaters around
the world. I’d pay to see it.
Yes, people like to buy different things with their money. Does it make
sense that everyone has to buy what you tell them to? Don’t be a faggot
You know who has the tiniest house of them all? Oscar the Grouch.
Couldn’t hear half the people talking over the music. 🙁
We all live above what we need. We like space cause it makes us feel
richer.
Hobo’s paradise …. Who needs a train
Very inspiring, especially inner most house.
I really love the concept behind the tiny houses at first you think it’s
kinda crazy, but then I understand that a lot of space is really
unnecessary and just what the media and society judges is by. Like the
bigger the house the richer you are. Now I’m very interested in getting one
when I go off to college!!
I guess I’m going to start saving and the idea of a tiny house is amazing
I HAVE A RAT HOLE FOR RENT (GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD) SOMEONE INTERESTED ??
I love the simplicity of the whole concept and didn’t know that I had
embraced that too. My question is for all those who are in the midst of
building their tiny homes. Where do you store your tools?
does it include any rats
There are too many people in the world. While I love the ingenuity of these
small houses…..its also proof that there are too many of us.
Amazing,,,
lots of land for more people.
My only conflict with this concept is the prospect of a wife and Children…
I wana try place like that
Its not what you own in life that makes it worth while, its what you
experience.
It’s not being built because there is to many of us . Where you get that.
It’s being built because it helps financially
or its just proof of more cost effective building and not having a many
hundred thousand dollar mortgage to some massive bank..
This is nothing new around here… we build custom ice fishing shacks that
are super efficient and very comfy and livible in all seasons
Pioneer families at one time actually lived in one room cabins! You adjust
thats what you do.Mcmansion are not the norm.
My, you’re such a charmer. You must have people eating out of your hand.
I’m such a big fan of small houses
j,aime les gens qui ont de l,ingeiniossite merci tres beau a regarder
Grat film! french people speaking french is so hilarious x)
Less is more
Could have done without the stupid music!
Brilliant idea, these little abodes, solves a lot of problems with owning a
conventional house. If you build it on a trailer, you solve even more, for
you can take it with you if you have to move, and you may “camp” as long as
you like, so that skirts many codes…
I could so see me living in one of these homes.
