August 7th-9th 2015: The First Tiny House Jamboree in Colorado Springs, CO. Event organizers expected a turnout of 10,000 people. 40,000+ showed up, representing all 50 states.

The biggest takeaway? People want to live tiny, legally! AND there’s a very real desire to live in tiny house communities. 

We are Alexis & Christian, the filmmakers & tiny house community advocates behind Tiny House Expedition, 

and Kai Rostscheck, mover & shaker behind I Love Tiny Houses, Tiny House Lending & Tiny House Dating. 

The stars aligned and we first met at the Tiny House Jamboree. 

Love at first sight? Maybe; definitely an instant friendship. We made a powerful connection over our shared passion for tiny housing and helping others achieve their tiny house dreams. Our collaborative co-production was born!

We are traveling the country to create a documentary series featuring case studies; exciting examples of how a handful of cities from all over the country are making legal tiny house communities a reality.

We’ll talk with founders and city officials representing these ongoing projects, in both urban and rural settings. We’ll ask city planners about local objections & potential solutions, to zoning issues, safety certifications and more.

These communities are in various stages of development and each represents a unique kind of arrangement, but many of the issues and opportunities are similar. 

Ultimately, we’ll determine why each city said “yes” or wants to say yes, to Tiny Housing, if the right conditions can be met, of course.

This documentary will be YOUR FREE resource, to help YOU, the people that want to live tiny, live tiny legally. 

Our goal is to legitimize conversations about legal Tiny Housing and to provide a proactive, illustrative resource for those seeking to bring tiny houses to their city but don't know where to start. 

We’ll be interviewing the policy makers themselves, and sharing the entire documentary for FREE on YouTube.

We are looking to raise $39,471. That sounds like a BIG number, though it ONLY comes to 494, $80 contributions. WOW! That means if ONLY 500 of the thousands tiny house enthusiasts give us around $80, we'll be good to go!

Budget Breakdown:

Raised funds will be used for the following

• Our time for crafting a top-notch documentary on this expansive subject matter. That means hundreds of hours of labor--we are only getting compensated for a small amount of our time & most costs are going towards expenses.

1. Producing:  heading up the production from development to completion; includes many tasks like research, phone calls, emails, scheduling, budgeting, problem-solving & more.
2. Filming & Interviewing: professional quality shooting & interviewing- it's no tiny task! Is the pun too much? ;) 
3. Editing: time-consuming, extremely detailed, skilled work & incredibly crucial to effective storytelling. Primarily to be done on our own dime.

If we don't reach our goal, we will use the funds we do raise to shoot the documentary in stages.

At the Jamboree we realized there’s big, beautiful, warm & growing tiny house community, made up of motivated folks from all over the country. If we learned anything at the Jamboree, it’s that people thrive on community support.

Our project is our way of offering community support to YOU.

There’s a mountain of potential obstacles & intimidating bureaucratic systems to wade through on your path to legal, tiny housing.

Help us, help YOU, and let’s build community together!
