A NYC transplant and aspiring artist speaks to a documentary crew about her struggles finding an affordable home in her dream city, while being true to herself as an artist. Now that she's finally found what seemed like the perfect studio apartment, she's dealing with the supernatural price of cheap rent. Blending the styles of documentary filmmaking and internet profile pieces, this mini mockumentary pokes fun at aspirational living. The Price of Cheap Rent uses humor to reflect on the economic and ethical challenges for Black millennials in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods.
