About this Event

Join , a 12+ year tiny house on wheels dweller and national tiny house advocate, and Chris Strathy, an experienced tiny house builder known for his creative reuse projects, for an evening of film and conversation.

The evening begins with a short film exploring innovative approaches to tiny homes and reclaimed materials. After the film, stay for a live conversation and audience Q&A where Jewel and Chris will share insights from their real-world experience designing, building, and living tiny.

Topics will include:

  • What tiny house living actually looks like day to day
  • Creative reuse and resourceful building approaches
  • The current landscape of legal placement for movable tiny homes
  • What it will take to expand housing options across the country


This event is also a community fundraiser supporting to make movable tiny homes a legal and accessible housing option across the country. Your ticket directly supports the professional advocacy, engineering review, and expert participation required to carry this effort forward.
