But first, the tea.
Video Village isn't for everyone—and that's intentional.
Our films will be high-end. As for the living arrangements? Think upscale hostel meets film camp for adults.
You'll have your own room or sleeping nook, but you'll also share bathrooms, meals, and plenty of time with your beloved housemates.
That doesn't mean you have to always be social. Some of the best moments will happen together; others will happen alone. Regardless, if the word ‘hostel’ makes your eye twitch, Video Village probably isn't for you.
However, if living with your creative collaborators sounds interesting, by all means, read on.
