“They don’t belong here! This is our home, not their home!” But maybe… it is their home after all?! We’re the invaders. What do you do if you have mice in your apartment? Is there any safe and humane way to get them out? This horror short film tries to answer that question, with fatal results. This Is Our Home is a horror short written and directed by filmmaker A.K. Espada, who is based in Georgia making movies and more. When a bleeding-heart vegan and her pragmatic roommate’s rodent infestation intensifies, they find themselves at odds regarding removal methods that are inhumane yet effective. “We are so thrilled to share this creepy-crawly short that came from the bottoms of our hearts and the depths of our souls.” Starring Mor Cohen and Ruba Thérèse Mansouri. After a festival run, the short is now online to watch and was debuted on Halloween by our friends at Short of the Week. It’s only creepy if you hate mice! Cute lil’ fuzzies.
