𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴, a film by PIN–UP PIN–UP is proud to present 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴, a 30-minute documentary for @cooperhewitt ’s 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦—𝘚𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 Throughout its history, the United States has given rise to intentional communities united by shared values, ideals, and domestic space. The film 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 chronicles three contemporary LGBTQ+ communal living structures across the country, exploring daily life in these rural and suburban sanctuaries. Created by PIN–UP in collaboration with living collectives House of GG, Lupinewood, and Ten of Cups, the film reveals how these communities cultivate a profound sense of home while defying mainstream norms that often exclude queer people. 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 simultaneously challenges and reaffirms the U.S.’s cultural fixation on freedom, individualism, and ingenuity. 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴, 2024; 30 min. Directed by @michaeljbullock and @michaelcukr 
Concept and curatorial direction @febubufe and Michael Bullock for PIN–UP Cinematography and post-production by Michael Cukr Original music @cairokukii Art Direction @officebenganz 
Additional support for 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 came from @adameli @madamfullcharge @tmeronek and @jour.ney Special thank you to the 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦—𝘚𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 curators @alexandracunninghamcameron @michelleinthemix @xtina_de_leon and the indefatigable Cooper Hewitt team #makinghome #cooperhewitt #pinupdreamhomes #lupinewood #houseofgg #missmajor #tenofcupsfarm #cooperhewittdesigntriennial #communalliving #communalarchitecture #architecturalentertainment
