Storage Storeys
What is the value of an object once a person no longer uses it - that thing they once needed but now cannot seem to make space for? What makes a person relegate their belongings to a storage unit? Is it tragedy? Loss? Neurosis? Love?
Maybe they are collectors who find themselves out of room at home. Maybe they need a place to keep the bits and pieces they end up with after their marriage falls apart. Or maybe they have a secret.
In Storage Storeys , you'll peek into seven units in a downtown Toronto storage facility and get to know who they belong to and the events that put the renters on the path to those roller doors. The timeline ends during the first few months of 2020, just as a global pandemic promises to further complicate things for them all.
