Appliance follows Sophie Weiss, whose house and its malfunctioning appliances become extensions of her biological self deconstruction. Just after a week of moving into her new home, Sophie's sense of reality takes on a distorted form as she begins to believe her house is living and breathing around her. Perhaps a result of her isolation? The side effect of a fertility treatment? Or even an outside antagonist? Appliance makes light of the disturbing history shaping the American delusion that homeownership is both an accessible tool for social mobility and a means by which one can value their self-worth.

'Garage' is a semi-surreal outing to an American icon: the garage. Since Frank Lloyd Wright first imagined a special space for the car in his architectural vision for modern life in the suburbs, the garage has transformed itself from a symbol of suburbia to an incubator for subcultures and tech companies dreaming of building empires out of nothing, just like Apple.
