A mini-documentary about The Hut Project, a series of site-specific huts built by choreographer and multi-media artist Jill Sigman. Made from found and re-purposed materials, the huts raise questions about sustainability, survival, real estate, and home. Each hut acts as a container for performance, tea, collaborations, and dialogues.
