Window Of Opportunity




THE NEIGHBORS’ WINDOW (an Oscar-winning short film written & directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Marshall Curry) tells the story of a mother (Maria Dizzia) who has grown frustrated with her husband (Greg Keller) and her daily routine. But her life is shaken up when two free-spirited twenty-somethings move in across the street and she discovers that she can see into their apartment. Extreme anonymous intimacy ensues, as does catalyst out the wazoo.

Appearances can be deceiving, especially when the observer has unexamined subjective conditioned assumptions that -- unwittingly projected -- determine how the now-unconsciously-edited "objective," apparently self-evident discernment-patterns "out there" must be interpreted. How to break this vicious circle of self-serving filter-bubbling?

(Spoiler/hint: it may involve empathy. Keep this under your hat!)

This fictional film was inspired by a true story, told by Diane Weipert on Love + Radio's "The Living Room," produced by Briana Breen and Brendan Baker. You can hear the original story here.
