Director’s Statement:

1BR emerged from the collision of two ideas.

When I moved to Los Angeles, I found myself living in a tiny apartment in a large building. I was crowded in among strangers yet felt completely isolated, swallowed up by a vast, uncaring city. I started to wonder if my neighbors felt as alienated as I did.

At the same time (and probably not by coincidence) I became fascinated with L.A.’s long, sordid history of cults. Something about the city, or the lonely strivers and dreamers it attracts, seems to make it an incubator for utopian visions that sour into violent nightmares. I delved into the history of groups ranging from the Manson Family to Synanon, equally captivated by the sense of belonging they offered and the trails of horror they left behind.

Sarah’s world, the world of Asilo Del Mar, was born as I walked the breezeways of my sunlit apartment complex, waving hello to neighbors I didn’t know — and wondering what might be hidden behind all those doors…
