LIVE! From The Warehouse

A gripping two-hander about boyhood, betrayal, and the algorithmic hunger for attention.

Two Boys. One Mistake. A Million Views.

Live From The Warehouse is a gripping two-hander about boyhood, betrayal, and the algorithmic hunger for attention. Equal parts raw, funny, and haunting — it asks: What are we willing to lose to be seen?

Two seventeen-year-old boys, classmates and dreamers, break into an abandoned warehouse after a prank reel involving a stolen gun spins out of control. Chased by the police, hunted by a school drug dealer, and suffocating under the pressure to be someone, they turn the camera on themselves. Inside this decaying space, they confront fear, ambition, friendship, and failure — reimagining their future as actors, singers, podcasters… fugitives. As night deepens, so does their obsession: if they can’t escape their reality, maybe they can frame it.

What begins as confession soon warps into performance. And when the line between content and consequence finally disappears, one of them does the unthinkable — for the perfect shot.

The video design for Live From The Warehouse is built from familiar digital footage rather than theatrical imagery. The projections include CCTV feeds, phone camera videos, livestream interfaces, Instagram Reels, notification banners, AI app screens, news graphics, and file-system visuals.

These appear as fragments—blurred, cropped, frozen, or unstable—reflecting how images circulate once they leave our control. No single visual source is treated as reliable or complete. Violence is never shown directly; it exists through thumbnails, freeze-frames, metadata, and commentary.

The projections operate as systems alongside the performers, constantly recording, broadcasting, misframing, and erasing, shaping how the event is seen rather than explaining it.
