I moved to Portland in 2007 knowing only two people in town. I scrambled to find work and build community. I lived alone in an apartment in North Portland, one of a little cluster of one-bedroom apartments in a compound of seven units. I needed connection with other people. I reached out to my six neighbors to see if they would allow me to interview them for a documentary about our compound that would then circulate just among us.
