Gray House

Gray House combines constructed and documentary sequences to frame a conversation about nature, identity and progress. Off the Gulf Coast of Texas, a bait fisherman (Denis Lavant) trawls for shrimp. In Williston, North Dakota, itinerant oil field workers describe their experiences on the tail end of a historic boom. On an intentional community in rural Virginia, a young woman (Dianna Molzan) reflects on her surroundings. At a women’s prison in Wilsonville, Oregon, inmates describe the realities of long-term incarceration. In a modern house in Los Angeles, California, a woman (Aurore Clément) prepares to go out for the evening. Gray House is an extended meditation on these politically and socially charged environments, as well as the histories and current events that shape them.
