I organized an AMA/Q&A with Jeremy Workman and Michael Townsend, the director and one of the film subjects of the popular, critically acclaimed documentary Secret Mall Apartment that just came out on Netflix and had a large festival run and theatrical release last year. It premiered at SXSW in 2025. It's about the group of friends that secretly lived in a Rhode Island mall for 4 years in the early 2000s. It has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's live here now in /r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

They'll be back at 5 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
Thank you :)
In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside a busy mall and lived there for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than a prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all involved.
