My Room

About This Movie

My Room is one of those quiet, reflective documentaries that really immerses you in the filmmaker's personal space. Set above a Chinese restaurant in Saint Catherines, Ontario, it gives you a raw glimpse into family life, all framed by the comforting chaos of the restaurant below. The pacing is leisurely, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. It’s the little things that stand out—like the sounds of cooking wafting through the floor, the familial interactions, and the way it captures mundane moments that resonate deeply. No flashy effects or grand narratives here, just honest, almost voyeuristic portrayals of life in a home that’s also a workplace. It feels very much like being invited into someone’s life, unfiltered and real.
