Invisible Room is a story of a man in his late 50’s going through a surreal journey on the way back from his work. His house is rendered invisible, floating above the bustling city street, while he gets comfortable in his “personal” space. The rest of the world is oblivious of what is going on above their head, and carries on with their lives. 

Coupled with melancholic beats from hip hop producer D.Sanders, the absurdist comedy resonates across the frame through the fantastic imagery and abstraction.
